F/A-18 Down In Australia

Pilot Ejected

A Marine Corps fighter jet crashed in northern Australia on Tuesday, apparently after the pilot ejected, the Australian military said. The F/A-18 Hornet went down about 10 miles from Tindal Airbase in the Northern Territory, the Defense Force said.

Defense spokesman Michael Weaver said an Australian helicopter brought the American pilot to the base for treatment of his injuries. He was in stable condition.

The Hornet was taking part in operation Southern Frontier, an exercise that's been running in the Territory for about two months. Australian Defense Force spokesman Steve Mullins last night confirmed the crash.
