YUMA, Ariz. — A Marine Corps Harrier attack jet crashed Thursday while on a training mission in southern Arizona, but both pilots ejected safely, officials said.
The pilots were taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center and they were both listed in good condition Thursday night.
“The hospital reported they were both conscious and talking,” said Gunnery Sgt. Bill Lisbon of the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma public affairs office.
The jet, assigned to MCAS Cherry Point, N.C., went down about 3:30 p.m. Mountain time on the Barry M. Goldwater Range southeast of Yuma, Lisbon said.
The range spans a remote desert area and is used primarily for pilot training.
