It was bound to happen eventually. These guys "joust" quite regularly.
Hope everyone got out unscathed.

Actually the BBC Initially reported it as a Greek F-16 and a Turkish RF-4e, they only changed it to F-14 in the past half hour for some reason!

I believe the Turkish pilot banged out but was picked up from the Aegean.
Looks like I picked the wrong time to book a holiday in Cyprus!

Latest update now says it was 2 F-16's, Turkish guy safe, no word on the Greek pilot. Here's hoping.
Heard a rumour that 2 Italian F-16s were lost in midair near Deci as well, both guys ok apparently.

And to think that just a couple of days ago they were voting for each other in Eurovision.
Fingers crossed for all involved.
The two Italian pilots are safe.
