I see reports of an F-18 that's crashed in Zaragoza air base . It's reported the pilot has ejected safely with minor leg injuries

Glad he managed to get out.

I did a bit of digging and the crash was at an airshow at the base.

I checked Youtube and found this report, this guy knows what he is talking about, and his video reports are always very well put together.
