一家法国网站报导,因为受到希腊国内取款限制(银行已关闭两周,取款机只能取最多60欧元),一名希腊飞行员驾驶一架F16 前往土耳其取款。这名飞行员在巡逻途中,改变航向在土耳其一废弃机场降落。该机场离土耳其西部某镇仅3公里。然后将飞机在一个坍塌的机库旁藏匿起来,再徒步前往市中心,分别从3台自动取款机各取走了相当于大约700欧元的2000土耳其货币,然后前往外币兑换处兑换了总计大约2000欧元。最后返回飞机,驾机离去。土耳其已经提出了抗议。
Greek F-16 pilot allegedly landed jet in Turkey to withdraw money
According to French website RadiCocpit.fr, Greek fighter pilot Homere Sipostopoulos allegedly landed his F-16 in Turkey, withdrew money from local ATMs then returned back to base.
Already familiar with the area from frequent training exercises over the Aegean, pilot Sipostopoulos was flying a patrol over the Greek island of Samos when he suddenly changed course and head towards an abandoned airfield in the town of Ske just 3 kilometers away in Turkey’s western province of Aydn.
Upon landing at the airfield, which had once been used for military training flights but had been shut down 15 years ago, the Greek pilot then taxied his plane into one of the dilapidated hangars nearby to hide it.
Exiting his plane, Sipostopoulos then proceeded to Ske city center on foot and withdrew TRY 2,000 (EUR 700) from three different ATMs, each, before heading to the change office and having it all converted to Euros.
Now with over EUR 2,000 on hand, the pilot quickly returned to the hangar and took off, returning back to the Nea Anchialos airfield in Greece.
The French site RadiCocpit.fr also claimed that following the incident, the Turkish government filed a formal protest with Athens.
