WICKENBURG, AZ -- Authorities say a military jet made an emergency landing at a small airport about 40 miles north of Phoenix Thursday morning.

Video from Air15 showed the jet sitting in a dirt strip between two runways at the airport.
The cockpit canopy was sitting open and several vehicles, including fire trucks, were standing by. There was what appeared to be a wheel lying in the dirt behind the aircraft.
Two medical helicopters were seen transporting two patients from the scene.
Oakes said the jet came in short of the runway but damage to the aircraft hasn't yet been determined. A cause of the engine failure will be investigated.
