☆ A US interceptor fighter nicknamed the 'Cornfield Bomber' once miraculously landed in one piece in a farm field after its pilot bailed out

An F-35 that went missing in South Carolina may have flown on autopilot for a time after its pilot ejected, though it's still unclear. In 1970, an aircraft nicknamed the "Cornfield Bomber" pulled off a surprising unmanned landing with only minor damage after it's pilot bailed out. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhile it's currently unclear what happened to the missing jet, it wouldn't be the first time a plane has carried on without its pilot. On February 2, 1970, pilot Maj. Gary Foust ejected from a Convair F-106 Delta Dart interceptor aircraft during a training exercise when the jet had entered a flat spin. After Foust ejected, the aircraft nose-dived before stabilizing, then remained airborne for a time, while Foust drifted around 8,000 feet above the ground in his parachute.

☆ A missing F-35 stealth fighter may have kept flying after its pilot ejected. A pilotless Soviet jet once flew 500 miles before crashing in NATO territory.

An F-35 stealth fighter went missing after a pilot ejected during a "mishap" on Sunday afternoon. If it kept flying, as reports indicate it may have, it could echo a Cold War incident involving a Soviet aircraft. Toward the end of the Cold War, for example, one Soviet pilot witnessed his jet fly off without him after he ejected from it and continue flying for over 500 miles. On Sunday afternoon, Joint Base Charleston confirmed a "mishap involving an F-35B Lightning II jet" in which the pilot had to eject. The F-35 is considered to be a highly advanced fifth-generation fighter aircraft known for its high-end capabilities and stealth.
