Re: Herc's at CBG July 2024

And for these 6 at western part and 5 near tower, all serials are painted over in green, so ID's impossible. Only for the spec colored blue/wh tail.

Re: Thessalonica Airport

Hi Nnthusiast,
I was there is september 2022 and together with some Greek spotters I got all serials from stored/preserved F--5, F-4 and C-47.
I can help you if you have positions, or maybe you made overview pics while landing? See also Eurodemobbed for pics.
Please send me a PM

Regards,
Erik
