Circumstances:
An airshow was organised at Grenoble-Saint-Geoirs Airport on this sunny Sunday. Three passengers won their first flight by a lottery and embarked on this Caudron Phalène owned by the Aéroclub de Saint Etienne de Saint Geoirs. While flying around the airport, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in Grand-Lemps, few km west of the airport. All four occupants were killed.
