Probably a navy plane there, F-18 perhaps. Never rely on the MSM to get it right the first time.

They still don’t know if two were on board or just one pilot.

Neighborhood being evacuated, or has been.

It’s University City, just west of 805. Needless to say it’s the only thing on local news i San Diego at the moment.

The pilot was seen with his parachute and there are big military emergency response vehicles on site now.

So how will it be before the people in that neighborhood petition the government from flying into this base?

Even though the base was there first and the residential area developed later.

Near Governor Drive on Higgins and Whitman or Litman Streets.

Very near Uni High School and many bigger multi-family homes, so he avoided where there’d have been more people on the ground, though one home, at least, seems completely destroyed.

SDPD is moving people away from the crash site because of chemicals.

Local news KFMB.com has people with it on film and video.

Top Gun?

They moved to Fallon, NV years ago. Switch off the movie channel.

Good news, hope people on the ground are as fortunate. A lot of naive people still don’t realize that every time you take one of them up there are hundreds of things that could happen to bring her down.
