B-1B Ellsworth mishap
 

Details are extremely limited at this time, but there has been a major incident at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota. A B-1B crashed while attempting to land at the base this evening, with all crew ejecting safely. Ellsworth is one of two master bases that house the B-1B 'Bone' bomber fleet.

The statement from the public affairs office for the 28th Bomb Wing, the main unit at Ellsworth, reads:

"An Air Force B-1B Lancer assigned to Ellsworth Air Force Base crashed at approximately 5:50 p.m. today while attempting to land on the installation. At the time of the accident, it was on a training mission. There were four aircrew on board. All four ejected safely.


A board of officers will investigate the accident.
