UPDATE: Navy Test Pilot School trainees, a US Marine Capt and a female civilian engineer were on a routine training flight while attending the Naval Test Pilot School on base, when they made a routine landing at 4:12 p.m. During the landing rollout, the crew discovered that they could not stop the T-38C Talon jet and were forced to eject.
The test pilot trainees were examined by base EMS and transported by Maryland State Police helicopter to PG Shock Trauma as a precaution. The two pilots were evaluated and released from PG and are back in the Test Pilot School continuing their training.
Naval Flight Investigators are working to find out what caused the training jet’s problem during landing rollout.
On Friday, Sept. 18 at or about 4 p.m., two pilots on a routine training flight in a T-38C jet experienced trouble when landing and the jet left the runway. The two pilots ejected and landed nearby. The plane remained upright after coming to a stop.
The pilots were checked by emergency medical personnel at the scene and then flown to PG Hospital as a precaution. It is not felt that their injuries were life-threatening.
