Patrouille de France Mishap
It appears there has been a mishap involving the PdF.
My French is a little rusty but it seems like the pilot ejected. Unaware as to his health status
Pictures/videos in the link.

"Vu qu'il n'y a pas de conflit depuis la deuxième guerre mondiale je ne vois pas l'utilité à payer ses super pilotes à s'amuser avec notre argent….."
Reading through the comments after the article, it seems the French public think the same of their aerobatic team as some of the Brits think of ours!
"Seeing as we've not had a conflict since WW2 I don't see the point of paying for ace pilots to enjoy themselves with our money..."
Glad the pilot got out.

"...Le pilote s'est éjecté et est légèrement blessé.
Il n'y a pas d'autres victimes."
"The pilot ejected and is slightly injured, there are no other victims".

Quite short on specifics but it would seem from witnesses that he had some engine issue, did not manage to land and eventually ejected. On the other hand the plane seem in a relatively good shape after an actual crash!?

It might be worth bearing in mind that on some fast jet types fitted with "zero/zero" ejection seats the SOP certainly used to be to eject in the event of a runway excursion being imminent..

'un problème au niveau du train d'atterrissage droit au moment de l'atterrissage' = u/c problem at touchdown. Where it finished up suggests starboard undercarriage - pure conjecture on my part though.

Seems very much in one piece despite the story suggesting the pilot ejected.
I'm sure more details will surface soon.

It remains conjecture as 'droit' in this context means right as in exactly not right as in starboard. My surmise that it was the starboard leg is purely based on where it finished up.

There was also talk of minor shoulder/back injuries to Athos 2

No, sorry but 'droit' means 'right' as in 'not left'

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
piesupper-If my eyes dont deceive me there was a picture of the jet with a blown canopy and something telescopic protrudung skywards.
