SAN DIEGO – The U.S. Coast Guard and San Diego Fire-Rescue Department crews were searching Friday by air and on the ground for the pilot of an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet that crashed on the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar base, officials said.

A defense official told ABC News that the Hornet was taking part in a training flight when it went down.The F/A-18 Hornet is the nation’s first all-weather fighter and attack aircraft, and is considered “the workhorse of Marine Corps tactical aviation,” according to Naval Air Systems Command.
In 2008, four people were killed in San Diego when an F/A-18D Hornet crashed into a neighborhood about 2 miles from the Miramar base. The pilot survived after ejecting and received hospital treatment after getting stuck in a tree.
