good thing the Martin-Baker BRS on roids' still works, although with some controversy, vis a vis the F35. (www.zerohedge.com) さらに...

Hmmm.. Saltwater may be the least of the worries. Aircraft have been run over by their carrier before, and the results are seldom pretty. Then there are the screws at high rpm maintaining forward velocity to contend with....

Not a fan of the jet, but one hates to see any land bird get wet.

The pilot ejected instantly with absolutely perfect timing. It was obvious well before reaching the edge that this plane was not going to fly. So that begs the question: was this deliberate? If not, what could have prevented the pilot from simply shutting down and hitting the brakes? This is just too weird...

The recovery of the aircraft is likely already under way or done. Nobody is just going to let that much money rot on the seafloor. Flush with distilled water for days and start working on it.

While I think a big factor is the depth of water in the location that this happened, "Flush with distilled water for days and start working on it"... does that really work with aircraft?

Yes. A careless pilot once dunked the front end of a WW2 Catalina amphib aircraft with the nosewheel door open in Puerto Rico and flooded the cockpit and about a third of the fuselage with salt water. The aircraft was dragged out, towed to land and then flushed for days with clean water. Eventually it flew out of the place where it was fixed and was sold.

Interesting, well I hope they can recover this bird!

Pretty sure they will, even if just to cannibalize the airframe for anything that is usable.

They will, but mostly so someone else doesn't. That, and to help make sure whatever happened doesn't happen again.

The 707 fished out of San Francisco Bay that was repaired and eventually returned to service might be a better example (JAL flight 2). However "better" in a water-damage context is still nowhere close to valid, because a Catalina or a 707 compared to an F-35 is like comparing a tricycle to a Tesla.

This POS (when finished) is scheduled to be the most expensive weapons system in the world.

That looks like someone forgot to set the parking brake.
