The pilot of an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet that crashed at a U.S. Marine Corps installation in California late Thursday has died, according to a statement from the unit. “With a heavy heart, our condolences go to the Marine’s family during this time,” the statement said. Search and rescue teams found the pilot, whose identity will not be released until next-of-kin notifications have been sent, dead at the scene of the crash. “There are no indications of damage to property on the ground,” the Marines said. NBC 7 San Diego previously reported that the aircraft crashed shortly before midnight on the eastern side of MCAS Miramar near Interstate 15 in San Diego. A defense official told ABC News that the Hornet was taking part in a training flight when it went down. The crash is under investigation.
