An F-16 returning to March Air Reserve Base in Moreno Valley crashed after its pilot ejected, base officials said Thursday.
The jet crashed into a building off the base, on Van Buren Boulevard, about 3:45 p.m., said March Air Reserve Base Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Holliday.
The pilot’s condition was not immediately know. The impact triggered a structure fire but it “wasn’t very big,” Holliday said.
Details on what the jet had been doing prior to the crash were not immediately available. Authorities did not have details on any other injuries.
