Confirmed on Facebook there'll be no update, I assume due to the tragic incident this week.

Blue skies to Corporal Jonathan Bayliss :(

Cheers Paddy and certainly was not good.

On another note. I saw on the wonderful world of Facebook that Zeus no longer has that magnificent livery anymore. Can anyone confirm this at all please?

The Hellenic F-16 is not painted with a different scheme, but maintains its original Aegean Gray Scheme, in order to demonstrate our combat readiness.

Sad indeed, but I like the F-16 with the conformal tanks so should be good nonetheless :)

I guess I'm an odd case for preferring combat schemes to special schemes, I really like the 'dirty' look of the Greek F-16 in the grey scheme :lol:

I like to see both operational scheme and paint jobs. The painted display aircraft do show well but Olicat is right about the dirty look. :thumb:

Lets just hope for blue skies rather than the grey skies we have had the last couple of years. Grey planes and grey skies are not a good combination.
