Scattered Eagle Leg 2

Leg 2 — LGKS → LGST Kassos, Greece → Sitia, Crete

A coastal search-and-rescue leg investigating possible crash sites along eastern Crete’s mountainous shoreline.

The first confirmed wreckage was found near sunrise.

An aircraft tail section wedged against volcanic rock along a remote shoreline east of Crete. No survivors. No bodies. Only torn metal scattered across black cliffs where the sea crashed violently beneath gathering winds.

That uncertainty kept hope alive.

If the crew wasn’t there… they might still be moving.

Your route into Sitia followed Crete’s harsh eastern coastline — steep ridges dropping directly into the Mediterranean, with isolated coves and abandoned wartime bunkers hidden among the cliffs.

The operation remained chaotic.

Emergency frequencies overflowed with overlapping reports:

Possible parachutes inland Smoke columns near mountain valleys Flashing survival strobes seen overnight

Then came the breakthrough.

A weak voice transmission intercepted by naval patrols:

“Eagle Two alive… hiding… moving north…”

The room inside Sitia’s temporary rescue command center fell silent after the recording ended.

For the first time since the squadron disappeared, someone was confirmed alive.
