Punched almost horizontally off the port side about halfway down the deck.

Depends on level of classification, if that was a JWICS terminal there will be law enforcement involved.

Glad the guy was still aware enough to punch, he obviously had his cage rattled good.

The F-35 slid all the way down the deck, that could have been a lot worse than it was.

In the YouTube video I posted above you can see the pilot eject around the 15-16 second point.

More leaks that shouldn’t be out there—these clowns will destroy the system that’s created the safety the military values and the combat power the nation expects. There’s an investigation process, let it work.
