A Turkish CN-235 reconnaissance aircraft returned to its airbase after one of its engines caught fire while it was in the middle of violating the Athens FIR.
The Turkish spy plane used the NATO camouflage as part of a North Atlantic alliance activity and entered the Athens FIR using an air route east of Rhodes island. The aircraft experienced failure to one of its engines as it was flying to the south of the Aegean Sea.
