ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) – A Marine fighter jet crashed Tuesday morning off St. Augustine, and the Coast Guard and Navy were searching for the pilot.

The Marine AV-8B Harrier crashed about 20 miles off the coast, said Donnie Brzuska, a Coast Guard spokesman.

The Coast Guard located an oil slick from the aircraft, but had not found the pilot, the plane’s only occupant.

Another pilot reported seeing the Harrier pilot ejecting, but did not see him touch down, Brzuska said. The name of the pilot has not been released. The plane was based at Cherry Point, N.C.

The AV-8B Harrier is a light attack aircraft that can take off and land vertically.
