July 25, 2019
Just landed at the airport of Perpignan, the plane went off the track and ended not far from a road. The pilot who ejected was slightly injured.

The Alphajets are now equipped with ejectable seats "zero-zero" (for zero altitude, zero speed), the pilot could eject, as provided by the procedure in case of loss of control. He was slightly injured.

The plane caused a start of vegetation fire that could be controlled. The Patrouille de France was expected in the afternoon at Saint-Cyprien for an air demonstration.
