Delivered to the Elliniki Polemiki Aeroporia on 14 May 1979. It was damaged on 16 March 1988 after it crashed in Lake Yliki. The CL-215 sank inverted, killing both pilots. The aircraft was later recovered, repaired by HAI and reentered service in 1989. Sadly, the water bomber saw another incident on 22 August 1993 when it was written off at Ano Rodini, Patra, Western Greece. The aircraft operated from Eleusina, north west of Athens. During a fire fighting water drop the Canadair was pulling away but stalled due to a mechanical/control failure. The aircraft crashed, killing again both pilots.
