Three survive mid-air crash of French air force acrobatics team

BOULEVARD 26.03.2025

Three people were "found conscious" after two jets from the French air force's acrobatics team apparently collided near an air base in northeastern France on Tuesday, authorities said.

Text size:

The Alpha Jet planes are thought to have collided near an air base west of Saint-Dizier in northeastern France, the French air and space force told AFP.

Three people -- two pilots and one passenger -- ejected and were "found conscious", according to the military.

One person suffered multiple injuries, a source told AFP.

One of the planes crashed into a silo, sparking a fire.

There were no civilian casualties.

"Emergency services have been mobilised," Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on X.

In August 2024, two French pilots died after their Rafale jets collided in mid-air in eastern France, in a rare accident involving the cutting-edge military aircraft.
