First impression is GLOC.

RIP.

GLOC or controls jammed.

Bummer. Jammed controls would probably prompt an ejection, so my hunch would also be gloc.

Not a good few days over there, aviation-wise. They also had two Rafale jets collide mid-air a couple days ago, the two crew in one of them did not survive.

Ejecting may not have been an option since Fouga Magisters did not come with ejection seats as standard equipment.
