One dead, One hurt in California U-2 crash
Sept. 20, 2016
The Air Force says they were on a training mission
One pilot died and another was injured Tuesday when an Air Force U-2 Dragon Lady crashed shortly after takeoff in northern California, the U.S. Air Force said.

The crash occurred about 9:05 a.m. north of Sacramento in Sutter County; TV images showed a brush fire.
The aircraft had been assigned to 1st Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale Air Force Base, east of Marysville, and was on a training mission.
The crash occurred near the Sutter Buttes mountain range.
The pilots ejected from the aircraft. The incident is under investigation.
CNN affiliate KCRA-TV said people told the station's Mike Luery they saw two parachutes carrying people and a third with equipment.
The jet reportedly came from the 9th Reconnaissance Wing at Beale Air Force Base north of Sacramento, the L.A. Times reports. The last U-2 crash to take place near the base was in Oroville in 1996, when a pilot and a woman in a parking lot were killed.
The U-2 was designed during the Eisenhower administration, when it was used as a method for spying behind the Iron Curtain. It has been redesigned many times, and is slated for retirement in 2019.
