Whose fault is it about Iliakis? Clearly about Iliakis? You mention Baltadoros but deny the incident of the 70s where one of the Turkish F-102 pilots panicked,became disoriented and flew at the opposite direction and as an outcome,when he turned around and rushed towards the Turkish mainland he ran out of fuel and crash-landed. On the sea,on the ground I don't know,but crash-landed. Lived or died I don't know for certain,but ran out of fuel and crashed.He is still showing the Turkish F-16 that crashed due to a technical malfunction
( a fuel pump failure ) and Turkish Pilot survived
I didn't mention the 3 other Greek Pilots that fell due to other malfunctions and crashed into the sea .. and all 3 Pilots survived
now , He is showing also an air-to-air missile launch on an unarmed Turkish F-16D during training flight, a completely different event that happened in 1996 .. ( that was not an accident )
and in 2016 , Greek Pilot crashed into the Turkish F-16 with stupid maneuver
Greek Pilot died ,, Turkish Pilot survived
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There have been no incidents where Turkish F-16 pilots made foolish maneuvers and crashed into the sea during dogfight
on the other hand , 3 Greek Pilots crashed into the sea and died while maneuvering during doghfights with the Turkish F-16s
1992 (Lt. Nikolaos Sialmas) : The investigation indicated the crash happened because the Greek pilot was unable to pull out of a steep dive in time
2006 (Flt. Lt. Konstantinos Iliakis): Greek Pilot crashed into the Turkish F-16 and Greek Pilot died .. Turkish Pilot survived
2018 (Flt. Lt. Georgios Baltadoros): A Greek Mirage 2000-5 crashed near Skyros island while returning from an interception mission .. Greek Pilot died
Exactly, MME doesn't know about safety regulations. Even with the low-pass there is a minimum altitute that you have to maintain. This pilot even went below it and crashed the plane. I think, he will not fly another aircraft in the TuAF.
You wouldn't understand this. Your RAF hasn't participated in a single dogfight since World War II
Turkish F-16 Pilot was flying at an extreme low altitude ( just 10 m ) to salute the Turkish Air Force Academy students but its external fuel tanks have clipped trees
( I could show you dozens videos of Turkish pilots performing extremely difficult and dangerous maneuvers that would defy your imagination )
These extreme low-altitude flights are something Turkish F-16 Pilots always do and repeat thousands of times a year
Because Greek F-16s are using hundreds of islands in the Aegean Sea as a cover to engage in low-altitude dogfights with Turkish F-16s
Turkish and Greek Pilots are highly aggressive tactical engagements
No, Yalın Ahbab explained this.This Pilot doesnt know about safety regulations.
In the UK, our F-16 pilot flew just meter above the spectators
That pilot continued to fly at TURAF
