A CL-215-III, delivered to 355 MTM at Elefsis on 29 May 1979. The aircraft was written off on 25 July 2023 when battling a wildfire as part of firefighting operations in Karystos, Evia. The CL-215 clipped a tree with its right float while conducting a drop, made a sharp right turn, before stalling and crashing into a mountainside.
