From the BBC Website... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5008178.stm <font color=yellow>Greek and Turkish fighter jets have collided in mid-air over the southern Aegean sea, Greek officials say. The collision happened near to the island of Karpathos and a search and rescue effort is under way. One defence official said the jets were shadowing each other when the crash happened. The pilots' fate is unknown. Greece and Turkish warplanes frequently intercept each other in the Aegean, where they dispute airspace and territorial waters. In the past, the two have come close to armed conflict in the area. "The planes collided during interception manoeuvres above Karpathos," a defence ministry official was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying. </font id=yellow> You're born, you keep your head down and you die.

Also on CNN http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/05 ... index.html I hope it will not start another conflict between both countries. Salute Dutchy ------------------------ Termites do it in the dark! (47FS Barksdale afb) |

Greeks and Turks have a penchant for play fighting, I guess this is the military aviation equivalent of a clash of heads. |

"Chicken" @ 500+ knots isn't real smart. The Second Amendment: America's original homeland security. Ya just can’t take life too seriously, because you aren’t going to get out of it alive anyway. |
