French NATO jet and Lithuanian air force plane crash
2011-08-30
A French NATO jet collided with a Lithuanian training plane during an exercise today, causing the Lithuanian plane to crash. The Lithuanian pilots of the Czech-made L39 training plane, of which Lithuania has only now one two, safely ejected. A spokesman for the French embassy said the French Mirage jet landed safely.

The incident happened over the Siauliai airbase in northern Lithuania, the base of the NATO mission. The Lithuanian plane crashed in a bog around 16 km from the base.
