Pilot Fatally Injured In F-21 Kfir Accident

Israeli-Made Jet Down At Fallon NAS In Nevada

An Israeli-made military jet fighter went down Tuesday morning at Fallon Naval Air Station in northern Nevada, resulting in the fatal injury of the pilot.

The airplane, an F-21 Kfir fighter (pictured) which was owned by defense contractor Airborne Tactical Advantage Co. based in Newport News, VA, went down just inside the west gate of the base, according to a report in the Associated Press. The weather was snowy and foggy, according to Petty Officer 1st Class Doug Harvey.

The pilot was employed by the company, which also owned the airplane. A company official said it is still too early to tell what caused the accident. The official said the name of the pilot is being withheld pending notification of relatives.

The company provides several types of aircraft on contract to the U.S. military as surrogate enemy aircraft for training purposes.
