Dassault M.D.315 Flamant

The aircraft was dispatched at Issoire-Le Broc to take part to an airshow. The crew already completed several low passes and presentation to the public (about 8,000 people). At the end of the afternoon, the crew approached the grassy runway to perform a new low pass when the aircraft went out of control, overturned and crashed, bursting into flames. Both occupants were killed. Crew: Jean-Louis Escoffier, pilot, Gérard Launois, pilot.
