 Greek helicopter crashes Greek military helicopter crashes in northern Greece, killing all 3 on board COSTAS KANTOURIS, Associated Press Writer March 18, 2008 7:18 AM THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) - A military helicopter crashed beside a highway in northern Greece on Tuesday, killing all three people on board, officials said. The Greek army helicopter went down in an uninhabited area near Lake Koroneia, about 12 miles east of the port city of Thessaloniki, said Defense Ministry spokesman Anastassios Evangeliou. The bodies of the three crewmen were found at the crash site. The cause of the accident was unclear. Local farmer Ilias Georgiadis said the helicopter seemed to have exploded in the air. ''I saw it flying over my stable, 300 meters (yards) from the crash site, and heard an explosion in the air,'' he told The Associated Press Rescue crews said the Huey UH-1H was blasted to pieces, the debris scattered a few meters from a highway.. No vehicles were on the road at the time. The army said the helicopter had taken off from the Alexandria military base, about 25 miles west of Thessaloniki, and was en route to a special forces camp near the lake. It vanished from military radars at 10:38 a.m. Last edited by Astoria; 03-18-2008 at 02:29 PM.      |

No theories the Hueys have outdone their flying hours it is based on a 1960 engineering standard, they are flying coffins. Minister of defence should seriously contemplate resigning as it didnt replace them fast enough. Albeit an order has been submitted to replace them with the very good NH90..it didnt happen fast enough. It's just disgraceful planning.

I think as an argument this example is enough! |
