Charles Walker of Naval Air Station Lemoore was flying a training mission when his jet fighter went down in an area known as “Star Wars Canyon”. Seven people are being treated for injuries they suffered on the ground. A group of French visitors were hit by shrapnel. Two are still hospitalized and four others will require surgery for severe burns. The area where the plane crashed is popular with tourists who want to see jet fighters close to the canyon walls.
