An F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet crashed during a training flight in a mountainous region of Washington state. The pilot successfully ejected from the aircraft before impact and is reported to be safe. The crash ignited a wildfire in the area where the jet went down, prompting a response from local fire crews. Authorities are investigating the cause of the incident. The location of the crash is in a remote, mountainous part of the state, complicating access for recovery teams. No injuries beyond the pilot’s potential minor injuries from ejection have been reported. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses and the fire is contained.
