A fighter jet of the Swiss Air Force crashed near Leeuwarden Air Base in the north of the Netherlands on Thursday.
The device, a Northrop F-5, ended up in a pond near the village of Bitgum and caught fire, according to images shown on Dutch television station NOS.
The fire was put under control and the pilot used his ejection seat to exit the aircraft, said firemen at the scene.
The fighter plane was from the Swiss Air Force demonstration team, which was practicing for the Leeuwarden Air Force Days air show scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
The event, organized by the Royal Netherlands Air Force, has drawn thousands of aviation enthusiasts to Leeuwarden every year since 2006
