The first incident occurred at 16:20 local time on Wednesday. An AV-8B Harrier fighter jet crashed in El Centro, a residential neighborhood near the US-Mexican border, 120 kilometers from San Diego.
At least two houses caught fire, but no one was hurt. The pilot also managed to eject safely. The crashed jet was stationed at MCAS Yuma and attached to the Miramar-based Third Marine Aircraft Wing.
Later on the same night, at 22:00 local time an F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet crash landed into the sea when attempting to land on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, CBS reported.
The plane sank, but the pilot was able to eject into the sea and was later recovered and brought on board. The planes still in the air were diverted to the Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego.
