Is it to keep their duck company when it’s surfing?

That’s because it’s a stealth jet!

But not a stealth hole in the ground. Although, two lakes nearby.

Since the pilot ejected, presumably he had fairly good reason for believing it wasn't going to remain airborne for much longer. Which, with the direction of travel, surely ought to give a reasonable idea of where it is.

The reduction in weight and change in center of gravity caused by the removal of the pilot,[5] coupled with the blast force of his seat rocketing out of the plane pushing the nose of the aircraft down,[3] which had been trimmed by Foust for takeoff and idle throttle, caused the aircraft to recover from the spin.[5] One of the other pilots on the mission was reported to have radioed Foust during his descent by parachute that "you'd better get back in it!".
