Plane Crashes Near RDU; Catches On Fire
POSTED: 3:03 PM EST March 26, 2004
UPDATED: 3:19 PM EST March 26, 2004
A plane has crashed near Raleigh Durham International Airport, catching on fire and sending a huge plume of smoke into the air visible from several miles away.
At least one witness described it as a military jet, possibly an F-18 from the Navy, and the pilot reportedly has ejected.

I work 2 miles from RDU...I've never seen an F-18 come in there. I use Aviation parkway to get on I-40.
Strange...will check WRAL.
http://www.wral.com/news/2953163/detail.html You're right...wow. Good thing it sounds like the pilot ejected. Wondering if he had problems and was forced to try to land it...got close and couldn't do it ditching nearby.
Wow...I'm sure I'll see THAT when I go home.

There is an Air National Guard unit at RDU that have Apache's that are currently deployed in Afghanistan. Don't know about F-18s though.
