Un Mirage 2000-9 s'écrase au décollage à Istres: pas de dommages humains.
4 April 2005 - Mirage 2000-9 crashes in test flight
On 4 April, a Mirage 2000-9 crashed after take-off from Istres AB in southern France during a test flight before its delivery to Adu Dhabi. The two pilots ejected safely and remained unhurt. An engine failure during take-off seems to be the cause. The aircraft crashed over a deserted part of the airbase.
Adu Dhabi is part of the UAE, which ordered 30 new-built Mirage 2000-9s in late 1997. Deliveries started in 2003. The UAE is also upgrading 33 existing Mirage 2000 variants to the 2000-9 standard, which is a modification of the 2000-5 adding more air-to-ground capabilities."

Aucun document sur le site officiel de l'armée de l'air ne mentionne ce crash survenu au décollage.
Le texte en anglais trouvé sur un site étranger laisse à penser qu'il s'agirait d'une défaillance du moteur
