3월 25일 15:35분 경 동부 프랑스의 Saint-Dizier 113 공군기지에서 프랑스공군  Patrouille de France의 알파젯 2기가 리허설 중 충돌했습니다. 파일럿 2명과 동승자 1명은 탈출해 치료중이며, 지상에서 사상자가 발생하지는 않았습니다. 

Saint-Dizier 113 공군기지는 작년 8월 라팔 2기 간의 공중충돌로 파일럿과 교관 2명이 사망했던 사고 당시 소속기들의 모부대 주둔 기지였네요.

An incident involving two jets belonging to the French Air Force’s aerobatic display team took place during training in Eastern France. Reports say three people ejected and are receiving medical care.

Video footage posted on X/Twitter shows two aircraft in the Patrouille de France formation colliding and breaking apart in flight near Saint-Dizier.

France’s Armed Forces Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, confirmed via social media that the incident had taken place during display rehearsals and that emergency services had been mobilized.

A French Air & Space Force spokesperson source told France24 that two pilots and a passenger were able to eject and were found conscious. They are now receiving appropriate medical care. One of the aircraft collided with a silo at a nearby industrial facility causing a fire to break out. The second aircraft reportedly landed in a canal. No casualties on the ground have been reported.

The incident took place near Air Base 113, which is 4 kilometers west of Saint-Dizier. It houses Dassault Rafale squadrons. Aircraft from this base were involved in the 2024 mid-air collision of two Rafales.

Patrouille de France is the French Air & Space Force’s primary display team, analogous to the Royal Air Force Red Arrows and the Italian Air Force Frecce Tricolori. The team traces its roots back to 1931, and has flown the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet trainer aircraft since 1981.

The team are world famous for their annual contribution to the Bastille Day celebrations in Paris, where they perform a flypast creating the red, white, and blue of the French flag in the sky with smoke.

This is a developing story, we will update the article as more details emerge.
