This Hellenic Mirage 2000 was written off on 4 November 1998. The delta came down near Skala Oropou near the coast line, northeast of homebase Tanagra. It is reported that the plane came down when the pilot encountered numerous technical problems that involved the control of the aircraft. Unconfirmed reports mentioned that the full fly-by-wire system was gone. The pilot ejected while the aircraft was inverted and was killed by impact.
