A Hellenic air force F-4E Phantom II crashed earlier today at Tanagra Air Base during Athens Flying Week 2026. Reportedly no parachutes were seen & local EMS responded to the crash site and I haven't seen any reports on the condition of the aircraft’s crew. Fly accordingly... ✈️ #greece... show more

Quite possibly the worst video recording job I’ve ever seen.
Whoever is running that camera deserves prison time.
Did this cameraman have Parkinson’s ? 🤣🤔
Recorded everything except the actual crash. Congratulations.
amazing pictures of the sky in all directions, some say there was a jet in the video. Please someone buy that guy a 360 camera so it can just fire and forget
Both died. Details:
Not sure if the Mover and Gonky weekly show will be on this Monday because of Labor Day, so may have to wait 10 days for the deep dive on this
That one dude cussing at the very end sounds like he's at every air show where this happens
Incompetent greek air force pilots are known to crash in airshows. 2015 10 people died, 21 injured. In that same accident they destroyed 🇫🇷 1x Rafale, 2x Mirage 2000D, 2x Alpha Jets, 🇮🇹1x AMX A-11, 1x 🇺🇸F-15E parked in the ground. They're Kamikazes
Wasn't aware F-4 was still in service anywhere. It should've been completely retired 20 years ago. A lot of good men perished trying to keep that hydraulic system nightmare in the air.
my dad worked on F-4's during Vietnam; he mentioned before how any loss of power and those would drop like a rock
Send the cameraman to the gulag
CAMERA MAN YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB
Cameraman is retarded
Cameraman had one job. Fail....
No happy comments or post from Martin-Baker after this mishap. Sad for the pilots families and fellow airmen.
Despite our strained relations, as a Turkish citizen, I am deeply saddened by today’s tragic F-4 accident in Greece. My heartfelt condolences to the families and the Greek people. May God grant those who lost their lives eternal peace. 🙏🙏
That's hard to watch. Has my head twisted.
Well fly F-4s accordingly.
Most of us can’t appreciate how difficult and dangerous flying something like that is
Scratch one antique F4… 😕🙄
Bro did the thing F4s are infamous for. Godspeed pilot.
I can immediately tell this video was not going to have any english in it by the way the camera was handled at the start of the video.
Horrendous worst camera man ever
Under 10000 ft the phantom at high speed or low can crash before you can eject at times in an emergency.
The funeral procession at the beginning was an ominous precursor.
I hope that was not the f4 being rebuilt on YouTube channel..
That sucks. I was always a fan of the Phantoms.
Ya looks to have nosed over, doubt they had time to even say oh crap let alone punch out.
It was all a mistake, they had signed up for Athens Crashing Week 2026, but that is next week and they showed up early.
All F-4's should've been retired by now. Even in the late 80's they had problems keeping them operational...
Friend of mine was finally grounded after he crashed his 3rd F4 in the 80s...they were awful, according to him
