1952-10-00: to EBFS Florennes 1 Squadron
1953-02-24: at Gentbrugge Cat.5 crash, the FZ-91 flew a few circles above Gentbrugge
and most likely the pilot stalled the FZ-91
the Thunderjet crashed into a house in the Emile Verhaerenstraat
the occupant of the home was also killed
pilot: Sgt-Vl Allaert Jacques, killed, was a "Silverwing" (USAF Class 52E, grad 8/2/1952)
So he was just under 20 when he died, a good 6 months after he got his wings
FYI: In 1953 a total of 34 (!!) Belgian fighter pilots lost their lives
1953-02-00: stuck of charge
