EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — One of the Air Force's top-of-the-line F-22 fighter jets crashed Wednesday in the high desert of Southern California. There was no immediate word on whether the pilot ejected.
The F-22 Raptor crashed 35 miles northeast of Edwards Air Force Base, Pentagon spokesman Gary Strassburg said. He had no information about the area where the jet crashed.
Rescue crews were en route and the status of the pilot was unknown, said Air Force Maj. David Small at the Pentagon.
Small said the jet, assigned to Edwards' 412th Test Wing, was on a test mission but he did not know its nature.
