Beijing (CNN) – A fighter jet crashed Friday morning at an air show in northwest China, leaving one pilot injured and another missing, a local official said.

“Rescuers are still searching for the missing pilot,” said He Liang, an official with the state-run China International General Aviation Convention, which organized the air show.

National broadcaster CCTV showed footage of a Chinese-made JH-7 plunging in a nosedive during a performance before turning into a fireball on a patch of grass.
