News is sparse so far - press release is here http://afthunderbirds.com/site/2017/06/23/2017-thu...

Image shows the aircraft on its back - reports are that the crew did not eject, and it took 2 hours to extricate them

Not to mention the explosive canopy release - I guess that's why it took 2 hours to get them out, they probably had to cut through the plexiglass
