The aircraft crashed into some houses. The pilot tried an unauthorised vertical climb, but lost control, a few seconds after take-off. The crew had no time to eject. Three houses were destroyed, and 3 people were killed.
The crash was the fourth in 16 months for Fighter Squadron 213, a 14-plane unit known as the Fighting Blacklions and one of six F-14 squadrons assigned to Miramar Naval Air Station near San Diego. The unit's safety record is by far the worst among the Navy's 13 F-14 squadrons.
