SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A U.S. fighter jet crashed into the sea off the eastern coast of Australia after failing to land on an aircraft carrier, officials and media reports said Sunday. No one was injured.
The pilot ejected Saturday after the unsuccessful landing attempt about 120 miles southeast of the Queensland state capital, Brisbane, according to Rhylla Morgan, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Consulate in Sydney.
The pilot was trying "to land on the flight deck. Something went wrong (so) the pilot ejected," she said Sunday.
