130569: cat.2 - at Beauvechain. Aircraft was hit by a cover from another aircraft that was blown away by a third aircraft. Pilot: Col. P.Dewulf (Wing Commander).
060669: cat.5 - aircraft flew as wingman in a mass-formation to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. During a flypast at high speed, part of the main landing gear extracted. Parts of the wing and flaps were torn off, but the pilot managed to keep the aircraft under control. The pilot flew to an empty area near Florennes and subsequently ejected. But prior to take-off the pilot had to change planes as his original aircraft was unserviceable. Unfortunately the pilot had forgottento connect his 'parachute-lanyard' harnassproperlyduring strap-in, which would have assured him of an automatic opening of the parachute,and as he ejected at low altitude he had no time to open his parachute manually and was killed during the ejection. Pilot: Maj. Wally D'Haese (ex CO 349 Squadron, flew as visiting pilot).
