On Thursday 25 July 2019, around 11:30 hrs local time, an Alpha Jet (PdF-2, E146, F-UHRR) from the French Air Force demonstration team Patrouille de France overran the runway at the Aéroport Internationale Perpignan-Rivesaltes.

The Alpha Jet exited the runway at high speed. The pilot ejected and was taken to hospital for examination. The exact cause and circumstances are not known yet.
