Woah.

Wisconsin Air National Guard officials say in a statement that an F-16 from the Madison-based 115th Fighter Wing went down early Tuesday afternoon near the town of Chester in Adams County during a routine training flight.

According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the plane went down about 1:20 p.m. five miles southwest of Westfield, Wis.

The pilot ejected and his condition is being evaluated.

Kent shares airspace with those guys.
 
Man. Hope the pilot is ok. I always think of the Great Santini in these situations.
 
The pilot is OK and is being evaluated at this time at a local hospital. The accident is under investigation. Any other info will come from public affairs.

Gaah. I had a post written on this yesterday, too, but apparently it didn't go through. (I *hate* Time Warner.)

Yes, the 115th are our ramp neighbors at KMSN, and we're lucky enough to watch them come and go fairly frequently. The site of the crash is directly between MSN and one of the R-areas they use.

I'm glad the pilot is OK, and I'm curious to see what they find out.
