(AP) — A military jet crashed into a field near a naval base off the Southern California coast on Wednesday, killing the pilot, authorities said. In May 2012 another Hawker Hunter crashed into a farm field near the Navy base, killing the pilot. In May 2011, three members aboard a Boeing 707 tanker loaded with jet fuel escaped with only minor injuries when their aircraft skidded off the runway while taking off from the base and exploded into flames.
