Any info on whether the French Mirages listed on the HAF's website are Ds or 5Fs?

Has anyone got the British Embassy in Athen's email address. I used -defence.athens@fcdo.gov.uk last time but have just got a bounce back from it with an error.

From a Mirage patch from the exercise that appeared on Facebook last week, they're Mirage 2000D's from Nancy–Ochey

I heard that this year we will only be on one side of the runway - the morning grass field - and will not be bussed over to the tower side?

I hope this is incorrect?

It's the other way around... Only the afternoon spot next to the tower this year, since they want to use the taxiway in the east.

Hello all. I am looking at going to the spotters day and also looking at low level too. What would be the advice on locations for low level flight and if the spotters day is worth it. Cheers 👍

As previously mentioned, most of the low flying occurs in the Vouraikos canyon, in the week before the exercise (24-28) then during the exercise itself (31/03-10/04)

Hi everyone,
So we'll be backlit all morning?

Should have been 4 x F-15s with the support using callsign ABABIL1

Thank you for the information regarding low level. I also wanted to know about knowing whether all of the aircraft listed are based at andravida or some will operate from elsewhere?

What sort of timings is the low flying? Obviously there's 0 guarantees but it would be great just knowing the earliest time a jet could come through.

Don't forget to bring evidence of payment if you can as they really do look at it ; I had to load up my banking app and show a bank statement - I didn't realize then the barclays app generated a separate document under the documents menu for Iban receipts that I could have printed off.
Looks like they are checking payment in advance this time as they are asking you to send the receipt via email in advance. Hopefully save time on the gate although was very efficient in Oct

Upon completion of the transaction, you are kindly requested to send the receipt to the following address oik.117cw@haf.gr
Check your emails as they have now asked for payment details to be emailled to: sec.117cw.haf@gmail.com instead of the address in the pdf.

The instructions also say "The gate will open at 07:30 and the ID check process will begin. To gothrough the check-in process, you will need to have your passport or ID (thedocument you used when registering the ticket) and your transaction receiptwith you."

So I would bring a paper copy as well.
