At night, during a pair of aircraft flying in bad weather conditions, the pilot got into a complicated weather situation that exceeded his training level and the aircraft started to spin. He could not stop this, so he catapulted in the area of Harkakötöny. The plane crashed into the ground on the shore of Lake Harka, and it has not been possible to recover it since then. The pilot, Major József Parragh injury during the ejection meant the end of his ability to fly.
