Iniochos 2023 - Andravida

[slogen51]

That reminds me I need to email the receipt to asf.117.cw@haf.gr

We like to inform the spotters who will participate “HNIOCHOS” military
exercise that the daily fee is fifteen euros. Thus, the participants are
kindly requested to deposit the fee according amount to the bank account
below GR 72 0101 1400 0000 0232 3271 142 (IBAN) Bank of Greece, and send
the deposit receipt via email to asf.117.cw@haf.gr

Thanks Slogen. I'm being asked for the account holder's name. Sounds like your payment was ok, can I ask what name you put down?

Just to point out that the email address given in the request for payment - " deposit receipt via email to asf.117.cw@haf.gr" appears to be incorrect - I believe that the email address is asf.117cw@haf.gr ( only one '.' before the @)

asf.117cw@haf.gr is the address that the invitation to pay was sent from

I sent my receipt to both addresses some time ago and the email address with two "." Bounced back the email

Thankfully I just replied to their email, so no 2nd "." used!

Anyone had joining instructions yet?

[slogen51]

Where has the time gone? Going in four days!

[slogen51]

TX F-16C to Andravida ?

TX F-16C to Andravida ?

Wearing sands on arrival LEMO

[slogen51]

Thanks got a bit carried away

If they are stopping in Moron it was only another couple of hours to Greece so it does look like another desert deployment unless they can work up at Iniochos

Speculation ahead of the facts!

2406 Saudi A332MRTT landed in Athens a short while ago although over the Mediterranean it was at FL360

[slogen51]

10:00Z a pair of Indian C-17 departed Andravida heading back east a short while ago

(CB-8003) and (CB-8004)

[raameagle]

They escorted the four Flankers to Andravida yesterday, via Cairo West.
The Saudi Eagles arrived on Thursday using 'Prime' as their callsign.

The weather forecast for Wednesday 26/4 doesn't look marvellous

[slogen51]

12:00Z AME A400 tanker? showing as TK-23-07 departed Andravida a few minutes ago

Didn't realize the A400M tanker was up and running?

Should be the Spanish EF-18 Hornets on the ground for Iniochos

[raameagle]

From Ala 46 at Gando.

Puddle shots in the morning! Afternoon looks ok though

[slogen51]

I hope that forecast is overly pessimistic but it does look like you will need something to keep your gear dry

( My Tesco carrier bag at the mont de marsan tiger meet didn't really work so I am taking a Waitrose bag this time)

[slogen51]

Wet morning but a gorgeous afternoon saved the day

Andravida - Kalamata - Tripoli - Megara on the way back to Athens

Waiting at Athens airport for the Easy jet flight 8186 - G-UZMF delayed 3 hours so home at 3-4am !

[slogen51]

Does anyone on here know which two Italian Tornado didn't fly on the 26th

There were 8 Italian Tornados that could be seen but I only read 6 :-
MM7014/6-13
MM7030/6-73
MM7051/6-72
MM7064/6-24
MM7066/6-43 edit from mm7065
MM7067/6-41
Plus two more

Also six RSAF F-15SA were seen but only 4 flew to be read off :-
9232
9239
9251
9255
Plus two more

[slogen51]

Is there a list available of the WFU Phantoms stored on the other side of the runway opposite the tower at Andravida? I read a few off using the camera and just want to check they are correct :-

7496
71755
71758
71765
01512
01513
01517
01528
01618
?????? '339 65 years' blue tail
?????? Large white numbers on the tail - 402 or 462 obscured by vegetation - doesn't look like a serial

[slogen51]

Just for the record the HAF vipers I noted were :

335 Mira Tigers
003
009
011
013

337 Mira
532
611

340 Mira yellow/Black
537
610

341 Mira red/black
052
058
070

347 Mira
071
075

[slogen51]

Sorry another question - what was the RJAF F-16B in normal metal scheme that carried the serial in Arabic numerals

I make it 670 but scramble ( which is probably right) says 681

7V•

[Andy Marden]

That is 670.
