Fighter pilot ejects from FA-22
From correspondents in Los Angeles
December 21, 2004
A US Air Force pilot escaped with his life when his FA-22 "Raptor" fighter jet crashed in a ball of flames during take-off in the western state of Nevada, defence officials said.
The brand new jet ploughed into the ground as it attempted to lift off from Nellis Air Force Base in southern Nevada at about 3:45 pm (2345 GMT), an official at the base told AFP.
"The plane crashed on the runway take-off but the pilot managed to eject to safety," the official, who declined to be identified, said.
The pilot was rushed to hospital and a safety board has been set up to investigate the crash, the air force official added.

Flights will remain grounded at Nellis Air Force Base through the Christmas weekend following the crash of a next-generation stealth fighter jet.
There was no immediate report on the cause of Monday's crash of an F/A-22 Raptor. The pilot ejected safely. He was treated at a base hospital and released. His identity has not been made public.
Investigators today were examining the charred wreckage at the north end of a main runway at the base, where the pilot and aircraft were assigned to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron.
The jet, considered the Air Force's premier fighter, was one of eight at Nellis. It was the Air Force's first F/A-22 crash.
Each plane cost more than 130 million dollars. F/A-22 Raptors nationwide were temporarily grounded as a safety precaution.
