An Air Force pilot crashed in front of his family in Greece

Greek Air Force Major Epaminondas Kostas died on the morning of Wednesday, December 27, while flying on a T-2 training aircraft in the city of Kalamata.

This was reported by the Greek broadcaster EPT.

The T-2E Buckeye, flown by a 40-year-old Greek Air Force major, crashed more than a kilometer northwest of Kalamata airport.

According to preliminary data, right before the fall, the plane exploded in the air.

The plane crash was seen by Kostas’s wife and two children, who were visiting him at the airport.

The accident has once again drawn attention to whether it is safe for the Greek Air Force to continue operating T-2 aircraft, for which this is the third accident in the last few years.
