Not in La Jolla

Fox News.com has a story about a Marine jet going down in a San Diego neighborhood:
An F-18 has crashed in a residential neighborhood in San Diego, sparking at least one house fire. (The F-18 is a supersonic jet used widely in the Marine Corps and Navy.)
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the plane crashed shortly before noon Monday as it prepared to land at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The crash occurred two miles from the base. Gregor said the pilot ejected. TV footage showed one house and two cars on fire.
Miramar, well known for its role in the movie Top Gun, is home to some 10,000 Marines. It was operated by the U.S. Navy until 1996.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the crash happened near Cather Avenue and Huggins Street in University City.
Rico says that, fortunately, the flight path for Miramar is not over his father's neighborhood...
