PITTSTON, Pa. (AP) _ A vintage fighter jet crashed Tuesday morning in a wooded area about a mile from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, killing the pilot, authorities said.
The aircraft, a privately owned Hawker-Hunter, went down in Pittston Township shortly after taking off from the airport at about 9 a.m., said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters.
No one on the ground was hurt, Peters said. A runway at the airport was closed while the crash was investigated.
The British-made jet, of a type made predominantly in the late 1950s and early 1960s, was registered to an owner in Augusta, N.J., Peters said.
