In 2003, the 'Patrouille de France' celebrated its 50th anniversary.

W/O 18 January 1982 at Salon de Provence killing the pilot.

Photographer unknown. Just arrived in Cameri for the open day "Giornata Azzurra 1993" to be held on June 13. They could not display because of the crash of this aircraft, occurred during a training on June 10. The aircraft experienced a double flame-out during a phase of inverted flight. The crew succeded in ejecting safely but the aircraft land-crashed in a field south of Cameri village, avoiding a motorway, but damaging a railway. The double flame-out was apparently caused by the fuel starvation in the tank sump that collects the necessary fuel amount for a limited time of inverted flight.
