As reported by WCBD News in Charleston,
'Officials with Joint Base Charleston confirmed that debris from a F-35 fighter jet that went missing Sunday has been located near Williamsburg County...
Joint Base Charleston said the incident involved “mishap” involving an F-35B Lightning II jet from Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT) 501 with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.'
Earlier today it was reported in some corners of Twitter that the plane had safely landed in Cuba (?!) but that always seemed ... unlikely at best.
Very serious journalist Laura Loomer believes the F-35 flew itself to Cuba and landed safely. These people are hilarious. https://t.co/sc2BYkoSOO

But now the story comes to a resolution, and thankfully it sounds like a resolution with no one getting killed or injured. But we'll always have the memes ...

The U.S. Government would like your help in searching for a missing $80 million fighter jet.

After the incident, it's being reported that the US Marines are ordering a two-day stand-down of their aircrews to go over the finer points of aviation safety.
EDIT: The order only applies to the USMC, not all military aviation.

A little unusual, in that it includes all branches, but it’s not unusual for individual branches of the DoD to have a “Safety Stand Down” after multiple mishaps.
It’s a time to take a hard look at your… https://t.co/TTkT5bGwPO
It was fun while it lasted, but let's hope we don't randomly lose track of any more planes in the near future.
