Video: Watch Blue Angel fighter jet fishtail, slip off runway

Several commercial airlines have made the news in recent years after passenger planes have slipped off icy taxiways and become stuck. And, judging from a Thursday morning incident in Maine, high-tech military jets apparently aren't immune to those icy conditions, either.

A U.S. Navy Blue Angel fighter jet slid off a runway around 7:30 a.m. ET Thursday morning at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station in Maine. Video shows the aircraft taxiing toward the end of the runway when it appears to fishtail and then slide off the paved surface. The F/A-18 Hornet was not damaged in the incident, according to WCSH Channel 6 of Portland, Maine.

"It's nothing significant," U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Corrie Mays, one of the two pilots of the jet, told the Portland (Maine) Press Heraldjust after the incident. "We just slipped off the runway a little bit down there. We are getting pulled out now. The jet is in perfectly good condition."

The Press Herald says the fighter jet came to Brunswick 'as part of a logistics trip in advance of a September performance by the Blue Angels at the Great State of Maine Air Show."

The Brunswick Naval Air Station was closed in 2011 and is now a civilian airfield and business park that operates under the name "Brunswick Landing." There are no regularly scheduled commercial airline flights at the facility.
