TL;DR Summary

The pilot of a crashed F-35 fighter jet in South Carolina made a desperate phone call to emergency services, pleading for medical help after ejecting from the aircraft. The incident comes as a federal accountability office released a report urging the Department of Defense to reassess the future sustainment strategy of the F-35 model, which plans to spend $1.7 trillion on 2,500 stealth fighter jets. Over the weekend, a $100 million military aircraft went missing and flew without its pilot for 60 miles before crashing. The Government Accountability Office found that the F-35 fleet is performing "far below program goals" and recommended reassessing sustainment elements and making changes to address performance and affordability.
