(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) — A military aircraft has crashed off of the airfield at the Albuquerque International Sunport, the primary international airport in New Mexico, officials said.<\/p>\n

The only person on board, the pilot, was conscious and taken to University of New Mexico Hospital with serious injuries, according to airport officials and Albuquerque Fire Rescue.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday evening, the pilot was in stable condition, according to a press release from Kirtland Air Force Base.<\/p>\n

Two civilians were evaluated at the scene and neither person was transported, fire officials said.<\/p>\n

The downed aircraft was a new F-35, a U.S. official told ABC News. A Defense Contract Management Agency pilot was flying the aircraft, which was being transferred from a Lockheed Martin factory to be handed over to the service, at the time of the crash, the official said.<\/p>\n

Lockheed Martin said the F-35B was en route from Fort Worth, Texas, to Edwards Air Force Base in California when it crashed after refueling at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico.<\/p>\n

“The pilot safely ejected,” Lockheed Martin said in a statement. “Safety is our priority, and we will follow appropriate investigation protocol.”<\/p>\n

The fire at the scene has been extinguished, officials added.<\/p>\n

“Flight operations have resumed, but check with your airline for flight status,” airport officials said.<\/p>\n

“Grateful for the rapid action of the first responders,” Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller wrote on social media. “Praying for the pilot.”<\/p>\n
