Tyre failure caused aircraft to leave the runway. One pilot instructor Maj Peter Jahns involuntarily ejected from the aircraft when the barrier stanchion breached the front of the cockpit. The breach initiated the ejection sequence by forcing the throttle quadrant into the ejection seat. At the time of the ejection the nose and right landing gear had collapsed causing an angled ejection with no opportunity for the parachute to fill.. Lt Col Frank Gebert, stayed in the aircraft, was slightly injured.
