Gunnery Sgt. Dunk told ABC15 the jet went down in an unpopulated area around 2:25 p.m. The jet and pilot are based in Yuma.
A Gila River Indian Community official says the pilot was uninjured except for a cut on the nose. The pilot was found by Gila River police about 2 miles southwest of the crash site.

And another one goes down, this time in a residential area. No fatalities on the ground, just property damage. Pilot ejected and only suffered minor injuries.
