    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

    Since it tricked the pilot into ejecting, I assume it’s gone feral and is still buzzing around looking for a mate. If I didn’t have a big net to snag it in, I’d have to build a wooden decoy or perhaps just leave a paddling pool full of jet fuel out in a clearing. I’d keep my distance at first and try to gain it’s trust.

    I’d go to the beach because I am somehow in South Carolina.

    Also, I guess call the USAF and report the location.

    Maybe they’d give me a ride to the beach as a thank you…

    I’d steal the pilot SOB’s glasses. So long, sucka! Nice half a jet you got there, corpse-looking bastard. haHAA

    I’d stare at it and touch it. I obviously can’t fly one so it’s not much use to me.

    I’d take a picture cause no one would believe me.

    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.
