This AWACS was written off at Préveza-Aktion (Greece) on 14 July 1996. The pilot of the unfortunate E-3A aborted its take off after V1 when he assumed a bird hit. The AWACS could not be brought to a stop and it overran the runway end into the sea. It struck a sea wall, causing the fuselage to break. All sixteen crew survived the accident.
