Sad Day Here
KING CITY, Calif. (AP) – A Navy pilot was killed and another was seriously injured Monday when two fighter jets collided over a Central Coast military base, Cmdr. Jack Hanzlik said.
The F/A-18 Hornet jets from Lemoore Naval Air Station were flying a training mission when they crashed at Fort Hunter Liggett, a remote Army Reserve base 150 miles south of San Francisco, said Navy spokesman Dennis McGrath.
The names of the two pilots were not immediately released. They were members of Strike Fighter Squadron 125, also known as "Rough Riders."
Details of the crash were not immediately known, but a Fort Hunter Liggett spokesman said two parachutes were seen, indicating the pilots ejected.
The crash sparked several small fires
