The Mirage 2000-5 fighter jet from which its pilot ejected safely on Monday during taxiing in Tanagra air base did not crash or burst in flames, the Hellenic Air Force General Staff said later the same day.
The pilot ejected at 13:46 after landing at the Hellenic Air Force’s 114 Combat Wing base after a training flight, and was taken to the 251 General Air Force Hospital as a precaution.
The Air Force said the jet was slightly damaged on the right side, and after necessary inspections will be repaired within the base.
