Albuquerque Airport crash?

What crashed and burned this afternoon shortly after 2 pm? A passenger on a flight about to take off posted a photo on @X. Lots of smoke.

Listening now, was a military jet with pilot ejection.

Looking at images it appears to be an F-35. Have not seen any in this area but that appears to be an F-35.

Thanks for the quick replies and info. Good on the pilot being safe. That quote and photo on AR15 from @rawalerts was what I.saw on @X. It was too soon for info on the KOB or Albuquerque Journal.
