A US fighter pilot has ejected to safety as his military jet crashed in a Lincolnshire field.
The F-15 jet - worth in the region of $30m (£18m) - hit the ground near Broadgate, in Weston Hills, at about 3.30pm.
Police advised people to avoid the area over fears about hazardous fumes from the burning aircraft.
A spokesman for USAF's 48 Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk confirmed one of its F-15s was involved in the incident during a training exercise.
He added: "The pilot ejected and is safe."
He was the only person on the jet.
A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: "The pilot appears to have escaped with very minor injury and has left the scene by helicopter.
"The plane has come down in an isolated rural area and no premises have been affected."
The area was sealed off.
