This Huey was newly produced for the Elliniki Aeroporia Stratou (EAS, Hellenic Army Aviation). Its FMS serial was 69-15876, and it was first assigned to 2 TEAS (2nd Army Aviation Group). Unfortunately, the life of this Huey came premature to an end when it crashed on 20 February 2006. It was lost last during a night training exercise when operating with night goggles. The cause of the crash remains unknown. The Huey came down near the village of Kariotissa, some 20 km north of Alexandria very close to the National road connecting Thessaloniki and Edessa.
