There was an announcement on the air this morning that an Air Force jet had gone down near DC, during National Guard maneuvers. The Grandson is in the AFNG, so I froze for a moment, until the reporter said that the airman was based at Andrews, and had ejected safely. He had steered the plane toward an patch of trees before he bailed out so there were no injuries or damage on the ground, although the people in the area had been evacuated for several hours as a precaution.
“The pilot was an adult male, and was taken to a military hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.”
I don’t care if the pilot was male or female, but I am very glad to hear it was an adult!
