Crashed 4 December 1997 at Droue-sur-Drouette, a commune in the Eure-et-Loir department in northern France (at approximate Coordinates: 48°36′06″N 1°42′09″E): The pilot was in contact with Orly Approach (Paris) and advised Air Traffic Control that he was in IMC and having "handling difficulties". The aircraft went out of control and crashed. The aircraft had been rented to the pilot, who was 70 years old, the sole person on board, and was killed.
