     F-35 has a backup ADI and multiple redundant avionics computers but for whatever reason the pilot seems to have had a cascading failure (lighting strike?) causing his instruments to become unreliable.
     
     I believe he was only at 1,000 feet at the time, there's not a lot of time to make an ejection decision in that envelope.

     4chan made it up
     
     I explained a couple of days ago here about how dangerous flying in clouds without instruments is.
     
     the emergency procedure for a total AHRS failure in IMC in a fighter is to eject.

     I got my ASEL-IA more than 20 years ago, but I remember there are procedures if you have electric gyro failure, you can still navigate with the climb indicator, the rate of turn indicator (which operates pneumatically I think) and the wet compass. I’m pretty surprised the US military has fewer backup nav systems than a Cessna 172.

     what do you think, did the pilot really eject or is this story made up to hide even more ridiculous shit?

     Might be worth looking into the japs or koreans? I vaguely remember a downed f35 with something like this, guy said the avionics just cut out on him or something
