WASHINGTON – An F-16 fighter jet that was on a training mission crashed Wednesday morning in Maryland.<\/a> The pilot parachuted to safety, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Officials for Joint Base Andrews said in a statement that the plane was an F-16C fighter jet from the Air National Guard’s 113th Wing. The crash happened around 9:15 a.m., about six miles southwest of the base. The 113th Wing has its headquarters at the base.<\/p>\n

“The aircraft was flying along with other DCANG [D.C. Air National Guard] aircraft in a routine training mission in the greater washington area. The aircraft carried only the pilot,” Andrews base said in a statement. They also said “the pilot ejected and sustained non-life threatening injuries.”<\/p>\n
