That’s a relief. Hope they weren’t injured.

Thankful that the plane crashed away from where people are!

“That is highly unlikely.”

Well, the civilian they were interviewing on the local TV channel, who found the pilot alive in a field, said that munition projectiles were whizzing through the air and scared the heck out of him. What were they? This guy knew what he thought they were, and the pilot who was worried about where the plane had landed, said that he had live weapons on board the plane.

UPDATE: The pilot was picked up by a military helicopter. No structures on the ground have been damaged and no injuries reported. #fox5dc

So long as they did the prescribed PLF they should be alright.

Very likely an alert jet that was on a practice scramble. Always a challenge. Jets don’t like to sit. They like to fly. The more you fly them the less they break. Counter intuitive.

What were they?

I don't know. Stories I've read so far said he was in a flight headed for a training mission. They probably didn't have live munitions.

Time will tell.

Sally watched as the pilot came down. She yelled out to ask if he was ok. Helicopter arrived quickly

... the civilian they were interviewing on the local TV...

I just saw an interview with this guy (I think). He sounded sure of his statements.

Don’t think they have ejection seats.

Was driving on Woodyard Rd. just south of Andrew’s when Clinton’s Air Force One flew about 20-30 feet over me. My car shook!
I never ever want to be under a plane again, let alone Bill Clinton!
