The U.S. military said Tuesday it has not found the pilot of an Air Force fighter jet a day after it crashed in Iraq.



The pilot, who officials have not named, has been classified as "duty status and whereabouts unknown," said Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, who spoke at a Tuesday news conference. Coalition aircraft reported that insurgents were in the vicinity of the crash site at the time the jet went down.
