A Belgian air force F-16 fighter plane has crashed in north-western France, leaving one pilot caught on a high-voltage electricity line.
Both pilots were injured after they ejected from the plane near Lorient in Brittany, the Belgian air force said.
French media say the plane, reported to have been in good condition, came down further east, near Pluvigner.
The trapped man was retrieved from the power line after a two-hour rescue operation by French emergency services.
The power line was high voltage at 250,000 volts, local media reported.
The pilot had been flying at 500m (1,500ft), said the commander of the Belgian air force, Frederik Vansina.
Belgian media report the aeroplane was on a practice flight from Florennes in the Belgian province of Namur to a French airbase at Lann-Bihoué, some 30km (19 miles) from the crash site.
French news outlet Le Télégramme posted a photo from a great distance away which appeared to show a parachute dangling from a power line near a large pylon.
Other photos appeared to show black smoke billowing from the nearby area and a damaged roof on one home, which was reportedly only 50m (164ft) from the site of the crash.
Resident Patrick Kauffer told Le Telegramme that a wing of the plane had taken out part of the roof of his house, causing serious damage.
The crash also set fire to his shed and nearby trees, he added.
In one photo, sheets of metal appeared to be on fire in a wooded clearing and another shows a nearby maize field in flames.
The plane was not carrying weapons during its flight, officials said.
