On a training flight, the pilot lost orientation and flew over West Germany. The pilot attempted to make an emergency landing near the village of Kraimoos, south of Traustein, which is now on the Austrian border. However, the landing failed and the pilot, Lieutenant František Kvapil, died in the crash. The incident is often referred to as an attempted desertion, but the available evidence is clearly against it. There is a memorial plaque at the scene of the incident.
