An Iranian air force jet crashed on Tuesday in the southern province of Bushehr, said a Mehr news agency report that added the two airmen on board ejected and survived. The aircraft, a US-made F4 jet fighter that requires a two-person crew, went down about five kilometres (more than three miles) from the Bushehr Special Economy Zone, the report said. "Fortunately the two pilots were successful in ejecting themselves and have been taken to a hospital," Bushehr emergency services chief Gholam Reza Keshtkar was quoted as saying without specifying about their condition. Bushehr is the site of an Iranian nuclear plant built by Russians and which officials have said will be launched on August 21 to eventually generate electricity.
