The pilot of the F-18 has been transferred to a hospital in Zaragoza. The Air and Space Force has indicated through a tweet that his life is not in danger.

The events occurred around 12.10 in the morning, inside the grounds of the air base. It is not the first incident with these devices, which cost around 60 million euros, two years after their premiere. In 2000, two F- 18s based in the town of Torrejón crashed, killing the pilot.
