Well I did say I knew nothing about fighter planes.  I do however know that South Carolina is not currently a combat area and it is within United States public airspace so I don't see much reason not to have a crash beacon active.

 I don't see any potential of a broken plane turning and crashing on an ejected pilot. I do see plenty of bad potentials of an un-piloted plane continuing flight assuming the engines were still powered.

 Seemed like an easy question. Does an ejection shut down a plane? If you don't know you aren't the correct person to answer.

yes, I am a civilian helicopter pilot.
