We use to call them "North Carolina Lawn Darts" when stationed at Camp Lejeune.

My dh flew those lawn darts, until too many of our friends were killed, and too many parts kept falling off those that actually made it off the deck.

Harrier Jet Crashes In Yuma Neighborhood
By Associated Press

KYMA-TVUSA - A Marine Harrier jet carrying live ordnance crashed in a Yuma neighborhood this afternoon.Authorities say there were no reports of injuries, and the pilot ejected safely.

A spokesman at the Marine Corps Air Station-Yuma says the jet was coming in for a landing when it crashed.

The jet was carrying four-500-pound bombs and 300 rounds of 20-milimeter ammunition.

A spokeswoman for Yuma Regional Medical Center says no one else was taken to the city's hospital as a result of the crash.

A Red Cross spokeswoman says about 13-hundred people were evacuated, including a trailer park that's less than a block from the crash site. A shelter was set up at a nearby middle school.

Authorities say it's likely that residents would be out of their homes overnight.

Officials can't say for sure how long the evacuation would last.
