According to the 162nd Wing's official Facebook page, there was one person on board. However, at this time, the status of the pilot is unknown (https://www.facebook.com/162FW/posts/967540699944921).
Aviation and Cochise County officials told The Arizona Republic newspaper that the crash sparked a brush fire (http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2015/06/25/military-plane-crash-douglas-abrk/29257353/) that is burning right next to a high-pressure gas line.
