Officials are confirming that the pilot of a Massachusetts Air National Guard F-15 fighter jet that crashed in Virginia did not survive.

The jet was traveling from Barnes Air National Guard base in Westfield to New Orleans when it crashed Wednesday.

Officials say it appears that the pilot did not eject and remained in the plane as it crashed in a remote location near Deerfield Valley, Virginia.

The pilot's identity is expected to be revealed by the military today.
