A U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron Blue Angels jet crashed in Smyrna, Tennessee, near Nashville on Thursday – killing the pilot.

Photos posted to social media showed a massive fire following the incident. It happened around 3 p.m. local time.

The Blue Angels were doing a practice run for an upcoming air show in Smyrna.

The crash comes moments after a Thunderbird Jet crashed in Colorado Springs where President Obama was attending a graduation ceremony.

Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Michal Kloeffler-Howard said the pilot ejected but there was no information on the pilot’s condition. No injuries were reported on the ground.

Obama was still at the stadium taking photographs and greeting attendees in a private area during the air show that lasted about half an hour south of Colorado Springs.

News of the crash broke while Obama’s motorcade was returning to Peterson Air Force Base for his flight back to Washington.

The crash occurred about 15 miles south of Peterson Air Force Base, where Air Force One was waiting to take off.
