US military officials have appealed for the public’s help to find a fighter jet after the pilot safely ejected over South Carolina.

The Marine Corps pilot ejected and parachuted from the F-35 and landed in a North Charleston neighbourhood at about 2pm local time no Sunday. He was taken to a local hospital where he is in a stable condition.
