A small jet has crashed about two miles south of Joint Base Andrews, a fire official said about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The pilot ejected from the plane using a parachute and first responders have located that pilot. That persons’s condition is unknown.
The aircraft is an F-16, NBC News’ Tom Costello confirmed.
The plane appears to have gone down in a wooded area in the 4200 block of Steed Road in Clinton, Maryland. Some roads are closed in the area.
