An F-16 fighter has crashed in the United States near Golloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. AP reports this with reference to base press secretary Denise Ottaviano.
He said the pilot – the only person on board – successfully ejected and was taken to hospital for medical treatment.
Base officials said the fighter crashed near White Sands National Park. A crash investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the crash.
Authorities have warned people not associated with emergency services to avoid the crash site to avoid possible exposure to hazardous chemicals aboard the downed plane.
As we already wrote, a Greek Air Force F-16 Block 52+ fighter crashed into the sea near the island of Psathura in the northern Aegean Sea on March 20.
