(CNN)A US Air Force F-16 jet crashed at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada on Wednesday, according to a US Air Force official.

The US Air Force said in a statement that "an Air Force F-16 assigned to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, crashed at approximately 10:30 a.m. during routine training on the Nevada Test and Training Range."

The statement added that the condition of the pilot is "unknown at this time."

The article goes on to say this is the 4th incident in 24 hours...loss of lives in only one of the crashes that I know of, status of pilot in this current incident is unknown.

According to my sources it was a mid-air of 2 Thunderbirds...one returned to base, the other is the one that crashed.

It would appear that since there is no word on the condition of the crashed aircraft's crew that it may not be a good outcome.
