Two U.S. Navy pilots were forced to eject safely after their training aircraft crashed Tuesday afternoon in eastern Mississippi, officials said.

The incident involved a T-45C Goshawk that went down around 12:30 p.m. local time on private farmland in Noxubee County, according to Naval Air Training Command. Both pilots on board successfully ejected before impact and were later taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Local emergency responders and U.S. military personnel responded to the crash site. Officials said the cause of the incident remains under investigation, and no additional details have been released.

The aircraft was assigned to Training Air Wing One based in Meridian, Mississippi.

The T-45C Goshawk is a tandem-seat jet used to train Navy and Marine Corps pilots in carrier-based flight operations. The aircraft was originally manufactured by McDonnell Douglas and entered service in 1997. Each unit cost roughly $17 million at the time of production. McDonnell Douglas was later acquired by Boeing in the late 1990s.
