During the air battle, a pair of planes caused the plane to fall at a low altitude, but he could no longer guide it out of there.
According to other sources, flying as the outermost member of a group of four, he came so close to the mountainside that he overturned, even overextended, and began to slide to the side due to severe overload. The pilot ejected at a height of 80 meters, but the overturning and low altitude no longer ensured survival, so he crashed into the mountainside together with the seat. The plane crashed on the road at kilometer 34 of the road leading to Galyatető.
Captain János Balázs died.
