In the waters of the bay of Anavyssos, a few kilometers away from Athens, lies a crashed US Army aircraft. On the evening of the 24th of July 1985, the maritime patrol Beechcraft King Air A90 (RU-21A) was flying in formation with three other aircraft. The formation departed from Germany and their destination was Israel, but due to mechanical issues, the King Air crash-landed in the sea. The three-man crew was rescued and the aircraft sank and now lies on the bottom of the sea, about 180 meters from the coast.
To explore this wreck I built a powerful, single-propeller boat, to tackle the wind and currents of the area.
As a bonus, during the 21-minute mission, the boat encountered a curious sea turtle that approached it to check it out!
