In the Chinese (Taiwan) site Yahoo! Taiwan Knowledge, an article dated 2005.03.15 at
http://tw.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1005030200371
has a list of ROCAF AT-3, F-5, F-16, Mirage 2000 accidents, 1990-2003.
2003.09.27, Ching Kuo IDF, serial number 1625. During training sortie, crashed into sea. Lieutenant-Colonel WANG Pei Jiang and First Lieutenant CAI Kun Nan ejected and saved.
2003.06.11, AT-3 trainer, serial number 0827. During training sortie, crashed into mountain. Major DUAN Lian Sheng and QIU Yi Feng martyred.
(I’m uncertain about Qiu’s rank.)
2002.11.14, Mirage 2000, serial number 2058. During training sortie, crashed into sea. Lieutenant-Colonel ZHANG Jian Xiang and First Lieutenant LIU Hao Fan martyred.
However, this claim differs from the (IMO more reliable) list in the English (Taiwan) site Taiwan Air Power at
http://www.taiwanairpower.org/write_offs.html
