Kek, massive kek, handing out privileges just because of skin color. FAA, handing out preference by hiring new applicants and giving black organizations code words so they immediately get chosen for government work. It's high privileges with high pay.
Lmfao
What does that mean - Squawking 7700?
In-flight emergency.
Thank You!
Hopefully not another flashlight incident

Not good, for sure. FOD sucks.
I don’t have any info other than what has been said here, but it sounds like an unsafe gear indication. Run checklist, burn down fuel and come in a little shallower than normal.
Flying slow (for an F-35) and staying around 10k/ft.
Looks like it made Luke safely(?), taxiing speeds.
Coming down fast. flight path getting awfully jagged.
Approaching Luke AFB low and slow. Bet he has control issues, needs a lot of time to correct.
Looks like he's going to make the airport. Hopefully he (or she) gets it down in one piece.
I don't know what's happening now. Maybe it's a VTOL version.
Or maybe having a suddenly?
In the last week I've noticed an increase in military aircraft squawking 7700 around the world. I even saw several F-15's flying over my area which I don't usually see. Things seem to be heating up, so more activity.
caught a glimpse of a jet doing a touch and go here yesterday. looked like a F-15, painted dark grey.. didnt know there were any around? was hoping he would come back around for another, so we could get a good look, but nope......
Suddenly, event???
