Re: Greece initiates major overhaul of Air Force by ‘selling’ older jets.
83 Blk52+/52M(out of the 90 delivered), are being upgraded to Blk72 “Viper” standard. The Blk30 and Blk50 jets are not part of this program. It was and maybe is still the plan to take the current avionics from the Blk52+/M jets and install into the Blk50’s giving them a very cost effective upgrade. ...

There used to be another group of T-37’s located off the road behind some derelict vehicles, approx 150mtrs further North to where the T-2’s are stored.

Re: Stefonivikieo

Re: TTTE
The big problem is security. Terrorism has been the downfall of access - mainly 9/11 but before that it started with the Mill Hill bombing in 1988. Gates were not always manned 24/7 until then after which it was armed guards with loaded weapons. Security due to terrorism is only part of the story, ...

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2024
Extreme caution needs to be taken, the Hellenic Authorities are well aware of the influx of ‘spotters’, attending the two upcoming spotter days at Andravida and security at other bases will be increased accordingly. One thing going up to the chapel as a ‘tourist’, but being caught up there with a ca...

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2024
Word of warning to anyone going to the museum. Although the museum exhibits are there to be photographed, be careful of turning the camera on any of the based flying a/c (Tecnams, T-41?, PZL Dromaders), security take a dim view of this.

Re: Just the one Jaguar...
It was a 30+ year old aircraft with limited capability. It served well during its service life but was obsolete by the time it was retired.

Re: Red Arrows Combine 8.3.24
Something a bit more meaningful for a start, a complete redesign of the tail for one. Looks like it was designed by the same non imaginative dept that did the RAF 100yrs and C-130 retirement designs.
