This entire thing is embarrassing, not because a pilot found themselves in a situation they felt the best option was ejecting rather than staying with the airplane. The news likes to say the airplane was on "autopilot" and might've have landed in Cuba, okay conspiracy winder uppers, you win this one. A fully qualified, medically cleared pilot flying one of our premier fighters just decided to pull the handles and not only ruin their career but also their back. Something happened on that jet, I have no idea what that might've been but when the brown hits the fan sometimes you gotta scoot immediately. I applaud his wingman who did exactly what he should do. Airplanes gone? My wingman is in a chute? I'll hang out here. That's not some secret, your wingman will stay with you, doesn't matter where the airplane goes. In the end it's not really about airplanes is it?
