F-35 crash: Pilot called 911 after parachuting into backyard
By Bernd Debusmann JrBBC News, Washington
The Pilot of a US Marines F-35 jet that went missing called emergency services from a South Carolina home where his parachute landed.
In audio from The Call , obtained by The Bbc , The Pilot told a dispatcher that he was " not sure" where his $100m (£80m) plane was.
A local resident can also be heard calmly explaining that The Pilot had landed in his backyard.
Debris from the jet was discovered on Monday, A Day after it went missing.
In the four-minute call to the 911 emergency number, The Resident of a North Charleston home can be heard telling a confused dispatcher that " we got a pilot in The House ".
" I guess he landed in my backyard, " The Resident added. " We're trying to see if we could get an ambulance to The House , please".
The 47-year-old pilot, who has not been named, said that he felt " OK" after ejecting at approximately 2,000ft (609m). Only His back hurt.
" Ma'am, a military jet crashed. I'm The Pilot . We need to get rescue rolling, " he added.
" I'm not sure where the airplane is. It would have crash landed somewhere. I ejected. "
The Pilot later again asked The Dispatcher to " please send an ambulance" and said that he " rode a parachute down to the ground".
According to The Marine Corps, The Pilot ejected as a result of a malfunction and landed in a Residential Area near Charleston's International Airport .
In a separate 911 call obtained by the AP, an unidentified official said that they had " a pilot with his parachute" that had lost sight of the aircraft " on His Way down to the weather".
While it is unclear how and why the F-35 continued flying after The Pilot 's ejection, The Marine Corps said that its Flight Control software may have helped it remain level even without a pilot's hands on the controls.
" This is designed to save our pilots if they are incapacitated or lose situational awareness, " The Statement quoted by the AP said.
The Search may have been hampered by the plane's anti-radar stealth capabilities and technology that wipes the jet's Communications System if a pilot ejects.
An investigation into The Incident is ongoing.
A report to the US government said that inadequate training, a lack of Spare Parts and complex repair processes had left the US military's F-35 fleet around 55% effective.
