    I discover the crashed F35 in my lone walk in the woods. As I start to take it apart for parts, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Lockheed. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the feds come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he’s the chief of FBI. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Lockheed to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care, I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the F35

    Considering it is apparently a federal offense to tamper with aviation debris or accident scenes (assuming the plane looks intact) absolutely nothing, call local cops, they call AF.

    Call the number on one of the “Plane missing! Have you seen me? ✈️ ✈️ ✈️” posters the Air Force put up all over the neighborhood.

    Hotbox the cockpit. And this would only be the 2nd time I hotboxed the cockpit of a fighterjet.

        Ha, I thought nobody would ask. It probably will be quite a disapointing story though, sorry.

        Anyway, I was on holiday in Slovakia and basically, they just have old sovjet jets sitting around. We visited a very small “airport” (the runway was grass) used for skydiving. And they just had a MiG-21 sitting behind the building. No fence or anything. One of the Skydiving company staff said I can sit in it, if I want. So I did. He didn’t come with me or anything. It was also out if sight from anyone on the airfield.

        Apperently this isn’t unusual at all and these planes are just sitting around in random fields as “decoration”.

        Here’s a googlemaps link. I sat in that one!

          That’s indeed disappointing, I thought “hotbox a cockpit” meant to fart inside! Anyway, still a nice story.

            I think that’s also a valid meaning, just depends on the context. It’s an ok story :)

          You’ve just given me a goal, except the only place I know with airplanes laying around is a museum. I’d feel bad hotboxing a plane in a museum.

            Yeah, don’t do that. To be honest, I didn’t even close the canopea fully, I worried about not getting out. I sat on the wing for most of the lenght of the joint.

            But It sounded much cooler this way.

              I could call up my acquaintance with a cessna, but he doesn’t know I smoke. He’s a little too, uh, mormon for that conversation.

                a cessna

                That’s not a fighter jet.

                Just visit eastern Europe.

                There was another plane, I think a MiG-15, that was literally just sitting in the middle of nowhere next to a hayball. We were just driving past it. I tried to find it on google maps, but it was many years ago and I just can’t remember the route … or any waypoint.

        It means they snuck in and farted the cockpit green right before the pilot came to fly it.

    Assuming I could figure out how to turn that thing on, I would definitely:

    • Take off
    • Go to maximum velocity
    • Burn out all the fuel
    • Acknowledge that I have no idea of where or how to land
    • Look for the button to the ejection seat
    • Glide down towards the equator
    • Eyeball the necessary altitude
    • Push the button
    • Pull the parachute cord
    • Flip both the birds
    • Land on a beach
    • Walk up to the bar
    • Ask for a beer
    • Run from the bill

    Sit in the cockpit and make plane, missile, and machine gun noises since I don’t even know how to turn one on let alone fly it.

    get as far away as possible, the smoldering wreckage will be full of toxic gasses and contaminants
