Documentary photo of the damaged wing of Canadair was published by SKAI. The aircraft earlier attempted a low flight to the fire in Nafpaktia, resulting in knock on a pine tree.

The Canadair’s wing can be seen in the photo, however the impact did not affect the aircraft’s control surfaces and the pilots continued on their way.

Branches have also entered the float, however the hydraulic systems have not been affected, only the electronic systems.

The plane is fixed at the base of Andravidacannot fly and will be repaired there, but the repair will take two or three days, which means that the fire brigade will be deprived of its services.

As can be seen in the video, the Canadair hit pine branches, causing them to break.

Speaking on SKAI 100.3 radio, the mayor of Nafpaktia Vassilis Gizas earlier reported that the evacuation of the surrounding settlements was ordered as a precaution, pointing out that the front is very large. The fire in the area is without an active front according to the fire department.
