CLINTON, Md. (ABC7) — Prince George’s County Fire officials say they are investigating a military aircraft crash in Clinton, Md. just miles from Joint Base Andrews Wednesday morning. Officials tweeted that one pilot reportedly parachuted out of the aircraft.

ABC News’ Luis Martinez reports it was an F-16 pilot from D.C. Air National Guard’s 113th Fighter Wing.

Yeah, posted here yesterday. 100 Navy flight instructors boycotting I forget which craft for oxygen-pilot problems and it appears one pilot was on fire upon ejection?

Would this jet be part of the squadron that scrambles on occasion defending DC?

My sister lives about a mile from an Air Force Base runway and sees C5s flying over her house every day...and at low altitude at that.It's occurred to me that if some mechanical failure occurs during a takeoff she could be hurt.

The pilot was found by a civilian in a field and is fine; the plane crashed in a wooded area, and it appears there are no injuries. The civilian though said the munitions on the plane blew up; scared the heck out of him as they whizzed out from the plane; but it appears no casualties.

Praise the Lord ... amazing the aviator is well and no one on the ground injured, either.

I read that and pray that everyone is ok. Well, I don’t think the plane is.

Will we find a drone was flown into one of the jets?

“Would this jet be part of the squadron that scrambles on occasion defending DC?”

Could be. I saw somewhere it was National Guard. Could have been doing his/her drill time. There’s always stuff flying in/out of there.

>>>The pilot ejected from the plane using a parachute<<<

Journalists, is there anything they don’t know?

All this time I thought that F-16’s had an Ejection Seat.

How do you use a Parachute to Eject? Just askin’...

That is highly unlikely.

Yeah, like we’re supposed to believe a lit cigar slipped out of his fingers and lit up the payload. He would have been knocked unconscious and not able to eject, let along guide the craft into a safe area.
