Watch: Emergency services on the scene after fighter jet crash-lands on the runway A Hellenic Air Force F-16 fighter jet has crash-landed at Zakynthos airport, closing one of Greece's busiest summer holiday terminals. The aircraft - which was on a training flight - landed at about 13:45 local time (10:45 GMT) on Thursday after developing a technical fault, the air force said. It added that the pilot was "in good health" and that the cause of the incident was being investigated. Greek media reported that the aircraft had received an indication of an onboard fire before landing and caught fire on the runway, prompting an emergency response from firefighters and airport personnel. The fighter jet landed without deploying its landing gear, causing it to slide dozens of meters along the runway, Greece's Kathimerini newspaper reported. Video emerged on social media showing the jet ablaze while being doused by firefighters. The air force said the aircraft was from the 335 Squadron of the 116th Combat Wing based at Araxos Air Base in western Greece.
