Pilots missing after Greek Phantom jet disappears

ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek air force Phantom F-4 fighter jet disappeared
during a training flight Monday, sparking a full-scale search for the
plane and its two pilots.

The Phantom disappeared between Tanagra air force base north of Athens
and an airport on the Aegean island of Skiros.

Government spokesman Dimitris Reppas said two Phantoms had been flying
in formation when one disappeared from radar screens at about 9:40 a.m.
local time (2:40 a.m. EST).
