An F-16 military jet from the 149th Fighter Wing of the Texas National Guard crashed in Grand Traverse County, Michigan, on Thursday during a routine training exercise. The pilot successfully ejected and is in stable condition at a local hospital; no other injuries were reported. An evacuation order was issued for residents within one mile of the crash site near County Road 633 and Blair Townhall Rd, with a shelter established at Kensington Church. The cause of the crash is under investigation, though a mayday call reportedly indicated the jet struck a bird. Blair Township Supervisor Nicole Blonshine stated, "anyone on the ground was hurt or that any homes were damaged."
