The incident occurred in the south of France during an air show in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Provence.
In France, during an air show to mark the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Provence, a Fouga Magister plane crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. Reuters reported this on the evening of Friday, August 16.
It was found that the pilot was not able to eject because this aircraft model does not have an ejection seat. Rescuers later discovered his body.
French authorities are investigating to find out what caused the accident.
The incident took place in the south of France near Lavender. The board is specially designed for training and aerobatics.
Masters of aerobatics from the French Air Force were also supposed to take part in the show, but due to the death of the pilot, they decided to abandon the performance.
