Re: Athens Air Show

I propose the area below, which is not near the fence of the base in order to avoid any unnecessary complications

Just wondering if anyone has any experience from outside the base on Thursday/Friday - looks like there are a few places to view from..
You can go at the hill near the west end of the runway.

Did anyone attending the “spotters day”, hear anything about the F-4 retirement date?
Nobody knows for sure, most probably next year, when the base will close for the preparations to welcome the F-35s.

Same. My bank required an address, which wasn't provided on the email. Hopefully the address of Andravida AB will do the job, but if anyone knows different I'd appreciate a heads up.
Their address is :

117 CW, ANDRAVIDA, ILIA 27051, GREECE

Re: Athens Air Show

Spiros - thanks for the useful information. One question please: the "seat and shadow" area looks like all seats are at ground level, so presumably not much good for photography? Presumably the grandstand is better if you're happy to deal with the sun/heat? Hi Paul, Absolutely, Seat & Shadow is gro...

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2025

Any news on the registration process? Having not been to Iniochos before I'm not on the Greek AF list, so once someone gets the link would you mind letting me know the details? Thank you. Not yet, usually registration opens about a month before the spotters day, I expect it to go public in the next...

The first Spotters day on October 1 was unfortunately cut short, but at least the second day was quite active.
