    How is there not a tracking device and we’re asking the public to what, find a jet and turn it in?

    Maybe because the whole point of a stealth bomber is that it’s hard to find? It’s a war machine, not your keyring. You don’t put an Apple Airtag on it.

      Except two things… The F35 is not a bomber and they do put all kinds of trackers on it so that it doesn’t end up being the wrong people that find it first. It was definitely at least broadcasting its ADSB in FAA controlled airspace on a training mission. It wasn’t flying over Afghanistan or something.
