7/12 12:26 Η Πολεμική Αεροπορία χρησιμοποιεί το F-16 σε ρόλους βομβαρδισμού και αεράμυνας για αυτό και βρίσκεται συχνά εμπλεκόμενο σε επεισόδια στο Αιγαίο. Στις 23/5/2006, κατά τη διάρκεια εμπλοκής, έχασε τη ζωή του ο Σμήναρχος Κωνσταντίνος Ηλιάκης. Συνολικά, σε ασκήσεις και εμπλοκές, έχουν καταστραφεί 9 αεροσκάφη (7 Βlock 30 και 2 Βlock 52). The HAF employs the F-16 for strike and air defense missions and consequently the type is often involved in incidents over the Aegean Sea. On 23/5/2006 during such an incident Capt (mistakenly referred to as Col.) Constantinos Iliakis lost his life (mid-air collision with TuAF aircraft). A total of 9 aircraft (7 Βlock 30 και 2 Βlock 52) have been lost to all causes.
