A Swiss fighter jet has crashed in the Netherlands during training exercises for an airshow but the pilot ejected to safety.
A Swiss Defense Ministry spokeswoman, Karin Suini, said Thursday that the plane was a Northrop F-5 Tiger.
The Friesland regional fire department in the northern Netherlands said that the jet crashed into a lake near the town of Bitgum.
There were no reports of injuries.
The F-5 Tiger is often used for stunt and formation flying. The jet that crashed had been due to take part in an airshow in Leeuwarden this weekend.
