A pilot ejected from a T-45 Goshawk jet trainer aircraft shortly before it crashed near Naval Air Station Kingsville in South Texas on Tuesday.
The chief of naval air training said that the pilot was transferred to a local hospital to be evaluated, but NAS Kingsville said there were no reports of injuries.

The aircraft landed in an empty field just north of the airfield and no civilians were injured. It happened during a "routine training flight," the chief of naval air training said.
