Le jeudi 22 mai 2008 à 10h34 locale, un Rafale de la 12F de l’Aéronautique navale qui venait de prendre la mission de permanence opérationnelle est sorti de la piste ouest de la base aéronavale de Lann-Bihoué (piste 25 en service).
Le pilote s’est éjecté et a été récupéré conscient pour être évacué sur l’hôpital Bodelio de Lorient où il est placé en observation.

L’avion qui est resté dans le périmètre de la base a été sécurisé par les services techniques de la Marine.

Les causes de l’événement ne peuvent être établies pour le moment et devront être déterminées par une enquête technique.
