A US Air Force F-35 pilot spent 50 minutes on an airborne conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers trying to solve a problem with his fighter jet before he ejected and the plane plunged to the ground in Alaska earlier this year, an accident report released this week says.
Sure, but who knows what shenanigans the techs and pilot were trying to convince the machine to drop the landing gear.
Under normal operations, I’d agree, but I’ll bet they were putting something in a maintenance state while it was in the air, and at that point all bets are off.
