Hope it was a low speed taxiing collision, or failing that, that the pilot punched out in time....

Some pilots have been known to fly it to the ground, rather than eject and endanger those on the ground.....I'm hoping the pilot punched out...

According to the 9 News site:

An F-18 hit a building at Buckley Air Force Base Thursday, The FAA confirmed. The jet landed and while attempting to slow down, it rolled at a slow speed crashing into a building.

Buckley is in Aurora, Colorado, a suburb on the east and south side of the metro area.

Lowry has been shut down. Buckley is the home of the Colorado Air National Guard. I'm guessing that was a Guard jet.

It would have to be a Navy or Marine jet. (With a tiny possiblity of NASA.)
