Two pilots safely ejected from a US Air Force T-38 Talon II aircraft during a training flight on Tuesday, according to a statement from Columbus Air Force Base.
The aircraft crashed in a wooded area of Lamar County, Alabama, near the Mississippi border.
ABC reporter Austin Pratt, who is on the scene, said both pilots have been transported to a medical facility and are being evaluated by medical staff.
The statement from the base read: “The cause of the mishap is currently unknown and will be investigated by a Safety Investigation Board."
Columbus Air Force Base is home of the 14th Flying Training Wing of Air Education and Training Command’s 19th Air Force.
The wing’s mission focuses on specialized undergraduate pilot training in the T-6 Texan II, T-38C Talon and T-1A Jayhawk aircraft.
