Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor: Pilot ejects safely before jet crashes near Tyndall Air Force Base

A pilot ejected safely just before his Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet crashed during a training mission at Tyndall Air Force Base near Panama City.
 

A release from the Air Force says the F-22 Raptor went down this afternoon on U.S. 98 near Tyndall Air Force Base, just south of Panama City. The pilot ejected safely before the crash and was receiving medical treatment at the base.

A section of the highway was closed as a safety precaution as rescuers responded to the scene.

There were no immediate reports of injuries on the ground.
