No injuries were reported when the MiG-23, flying at Thunder Over Michigan, plummeted and hit vehicles in a nearby apartment complex parking lot, authorities said.
Two people in a vintage fighter jet ejected dramatically just before it crashed and sent up an expansive black cloud of smoke during a Michigan air show Sunday, authorities said.
The two, a pilot and a passenger sitting tandem in the Soviet-era MiG-23, were hospitalized as a precaution but appeared to be free of serious injuries, Randy Wimbley, the spokesperson for the Wayne County Airport Authority, said in a statement. No one on the ground was reported injured, and the vehicles struck by the jet were unoccupied, Wimbley said.
