A British F-35B stealth fighter jet, one of the world's most advanced and expensive military aircraft, was stranded at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram International Airport for over five weeks due to a technical malfunction.
The jet made an emergency landing on June 14 after encountering bad weather and subsequently developed a hydraulic fault. UK engineers were flown in to repair the aircraft, and Indian authorities provided significant support during its extended stay. The incident sparked widespread attention and humor online, with the jet becoming the subject of numerous memes.
After successful repairs and a hefty parking bill, the jet has now departed India, resuming its journey to Australia.
