They only declared their F-35's operational 11 days ago..........and they've lost one already, that will be a heavy blow to the JASDF frown

No news on the pilot, so doesn't look good frown

Which model F35 does Japan operate ? Assume F-35A.

Fingers crossed for pilot - but agree if they can't locate him/her it doesn't look good.

Fingers crossed for the pilot.

Reading the article the transition from F-4s to F-35s must be pretty impressive.
