Officials have begun an investigation into the mishap, the base added.
Eglin has seen other stealth fighter mishaps in recent years.
In May 2020, an F-35A Joint Strike Fighter, assigned to the 58th Fighter Squadron of the 33rd Fighter Wing, crashed on landing, base officials said in a release. The pilot successfully ejected and was transported to the 96th Medical Group Hospital at Eglin for evaluation and monitoring, officials said at the time.
The Air Force determined the cause of the F-35 crash was largely due to excessive speed while landing, but there were multiple contributing factors.
Days preceding that incident, an F-22 also belonging to the 325th Fighter Wing crashed during a routine training flight on the test and training range near Eglin. That pilot was able to eject safely, and no injuries were reported.
