Exercise Iniochos 2024

[Narky]

does anyone know if they'll still be doing low level after the 10th?

[114PM]

Jordanians should be cancelled, unfortunately.
My personal opinion is, that the low level flights will be significant reduced during the exercise.
But, as I said, this is only my opinion

[Narky]

cool thanks! Might try my luck with low level on the thursday on my way back to athens

Low level flights are reduced during the exercise as the exercise area most flights use is somewhere over the ocean and not in the low level area. You can still be lucky and get 1-2 low level flights a day usually in the afternoon.

Tatoi museum
Anybody visiting Tatoi museum over the next few days should email them to let them know you are coming as you may not be admitted...they can be contacted at museum.haf.gr

Probably a very stupid question, but is it ok to wear shorts or is there a sort of dress code? Sorry, I know it sounds daft!

[slogen51]

Good question actually

Don't know the answer but I try to look reasonably smart - casual when on any base - you don't want to make the place look scruffy.

[slogen51]

Oh dear !

Just had a message from British airways saying my flight to Athens tomorrow might be delayed due to Storm Pierrick - high winds. Scheduled into Athens on Wednesday at 2am and it's a three hour drive to Andravida so I need to be on the road by 5am - 6am at the latest.

[Charles022]

Has anyone received any instructions for tomorrow's spotters day yet?

[slogen51]

Just going to turn up with ID at the main gate around 8am I guess ( assuming my flight isn't cancelled due to weather delays today!)

That's your best bet. It was about 8am last year and it took a long time for them to process everyone

[slogen51]

08:55L I am on base!

Slow process

So many people

Saw a picture of F-4E 71760, maybe that’s the one you’re missing.

A listing on MSF for the 9th gave the 4 F4s flown as 01520/01522/71745/71760.

[slogen51]

Thanks I will take a closer look when I get home
