In the United States an Air Force F-16 fighter jet crashed on Sunday while performing maneuvers as part of an air show near Kingsville Naval Air Station, Texas.
The pilot was killed in the crash.
The pilot's name was withheld pending the notification of his relatives. He was a member of the 78th Fighter Squadron from Shaw Air Force Base near Sumter, South Carolina.
Navy Master Chief Jim Rostohar says the plane crashed in a field about six miles north of the naval base about 1245 pm eastern time (0745 gmt).
As a result the rest of the air show was cancelled including a performance by the Navy's Blue Angels.
Investigators are searching the wreckage for a reason why the plane went down.
Kingsville is about 30 miles southwest of Corpus Christi in Texas. (AP)
