Chinook crashes in Greece
It was a CH-47D operated by the Greek Army Air Force dedicated for a VIP transport. It went down some 15 nautical miles from the destination. No serious clues about what went wrong (weather seemed 7 beaufort wind or 35 knots and ok visibility).
It seems that there was a serious confusion between civil and military ATC and a 2 hours delay to launch a SAR. In the mean time the head of the Greek Air Force has resign in order not to be a scape (sp) goat.
Investigation might be difficult since the sea at the accident site is something like 980+ deep.
Rwy in Sight
PS: Is there any urgent AD pending for CH-47D?
