A Canadair CL-215 impacted terrain shortly after dropping a load of water over a forest fire on a hillside near Karystos.
A video of the accident sequence shows that the float on the right-hand wing tip struck a tree and broke off before the aircraft turned right and impacted terrain, bursting into flames.
The aircraft was attached to the 355th Tactical Transport Squadron of the 112th Combat Wing of the Greek Air Force.
