A small military trainer aircraft crashed today in a rural area of Yuba County about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento, but the pilots ejected and were not injured, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman said.

Forest Service officials said the plane, described as a T-37 Trainer, was from Mather Air Force Base. The spokeswoman said the craft went down near Bullards Bar Reservoir and was burning, but that the fire was not spreading.
