Authorities say an F-16 fighter jet has crashed west of Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico and the pilot safely ejected

On the morning of April 30th, near a military base in New Mexico, an F-16 fighter jet experienced a crash. The exact cause of the incident is still unknown, with investigations underway by the US Air Force experts.

Seventh Air Force briefly paused flying operations in late January after an F-16 assigned to the 8th Fighter Wing at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea, crashed off the country’s west coast. The pilot in that mishap ejected safely after experiencing an unspecified flight emergency, the Air Force said.
