First reports indicate pilot ejected safely.

At least the pilot got out ok, that's the main thing. Plane looks to be pretty much intact. Article said pilot ejected, if that's the case, it looks like one of those rare cases where the plane landed itself.

Conflicting reports here in N.M. as Kirtland AFB has them scheduled for a 75th celebration Sat/Sun. No word of stand-down as of 7:00pm our time. We see short-final ejection?

Anyone?

I was told by someone that works at AFA that yes, it was a short final ejection. Said everything looked normal accept for the subject jet was a little out of formation.
