Greek military officials say a fighter plane crashed into the eastern Aegean Sea during an exercise but both pilots safely ejected.
The Air Force said in a statement that the Mirage 2000 jet lost power as it was flying between the islands of Samos and Fourni on Thursday.
It says the pilots were picked up by a military vessel in the area and were in good health.
