F-16 aircraft crashes in Arizona, killing pilot

The pilot of an F-16 Fighting Falcon was killed after crashing just 20 miles southwest of Safford, Ariz., on Tuesday.

“All I can say is we do have a crash, and it appears to be an Air Force jet,” Graham County Sheriff PJ Allred said, according to the Eastern Arizona Courier. “We’re waiting on the inspectors from Davis-Monthan (Air Force Base, in Tucson) to come out.”
