A three ship formation of Socata TB 30 Epsilon aircraft, called Patrouille Cartouche-Doré, departed Cognac Air Base at 10:59 on a display training flight.
One of the pilots pulled a 5g turn for a duration of 5 seconds, probably causing G-LOC (G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness). The airplane struck the ground and broke up.
