Few details, however "...No smoke has been reported, which would be an obvious sign that a jet went down. There are no reports of property damage either, so the jet may be at the bottom of the lake...." & "...The pilot and jet are based out of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina...." & '...Details are few as of now, but base PA has confirmed the incident. Talk on the local Charleston dispatch and ATC also note the pilot ejected at 2,000 ft., with last radar contact about 7 miles northeast of Lake Moultrie, a few miles north of the base. The pilot made it out safely, and then showed up about 10 miles away in the middle of a residential neighborhood at a house on South Kenwood Drive in North Charleston...."
