Witnesses described seeing the plane fly unusually low before a loud explosion and fireball erupted in a field — thankfully, no homes or campers were hit. Officials suspect a bird strike may have caused the crash, though the exact cause is still under investigation. The aircraft, part of training exercises from Joint Base San Antonio, has a long service history with notable incidents. This follows a similar safe ejection in California just last December, prompting the Air Force to review the event’s full sequence.
