Business Insider: The US says it's done searching for Japan's F-35 that disappeared in the Pacific
* The US has decided to end its search for the missing Japanese F-35 that disappeared in the Pacific a month ago.
* The US sent a destroyer, maritime patrol aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and a salvage team to search for the fifth-generation stealth fighter.
* While US support has ended, Japan intends to continue looking for the missing aircraft and its pilot.
The US military announced it is calling off its search for an F-35 stealth fighter that disappeared in the Pacific this time last month.
A Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) F-35A Joint Strike Fighter piloted by Maj. Akinori Hosomi mysteriously vanished from radar on April 9, the first time this version of the F-35 has crashed. The US sent the destroyer USS Stethem, P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, and a U-2 spy plane to assist Japan in
its search for the fifth-generation fighter and its pilot. Later, a US Navy salvage team joined the hunt.
