Local eyewitnesses say that PZL dropped water diving very low and then while climbing through heavy smoke hit power cables loosing part of left wing and crashed next of an hotel bursting in flames.



Greece bought 30 PZL dromader in 83-84 for agricultur sprayings but when spraying was forbidden they were used for firefighting. Since then 12 of them crashed killing 6 pilots through the years.
