I found the based F-16s flew two or three times a week, however when they did fly they chucked up a good few. There is normally a Fri pm/ Mon am Herk flight but apart from that the Americans contributed a couple of movements per day.
Saw your photo post, nice pictures, were they taken from the Eastern sea end?
For anyone thinking of going to Crete for a holiday there is a lovely little hotel called the Areti suites which happens to be on the western approach, you can sit in the roof terrace and photograph arrivals.
