Both pilots were killed in the crash at Tanagra Air Force Base, but no civilians were hurt.
The twin-seat Phantom F-4 jet flew into the ground during a low-altitude maneuver just meters above the ground

I went here two years ago to watch this airshow and saw this display. Tanagra is only about 40 kilometers from our house . I had a feeling something like this would happen , the pilots are reckless and gung-ho . Luckily I didn't go this year - I was in the Aegean cylades for four weeks in our 2nd house .Didn't go last year either - I was in England for 6 weeks and in Crete for another 4 weeks in our third house!

F-4 looks the way it does with all the funky angles because it was unstable late in its prototype stage.
