On the other side of the runway, next to some hangars, there were 2 F16's, standing next to 2 F4's.
Anybody for the serials of these 2 F16's?
005 & 508

One additional F-16 was visible inside a nearby shelter, seen from direction Tower.

Thank you very much. Do you have the serial of the Cyprus AF AW139 also?

First timer to Greece and will be arriving on the 16th in the mid morning hours. Was hoping to try out the low level areas while heading out towards the base area. Can anyone help me with information on the best spots to get shots for the low level areas used? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for these. Does anyone know which the two F-4s beside them were? They had intake blanks in place suggesting they were airworthy. I wonder if they were 01520 and 71745 which flew Tuesday, but not Wednesday.

We had a fantatstic day, with beautiful weather and more fast jet movements and variety than a good day at Lakenheath! The departure of the four F-4s was very special.

37 Rafale M is indeed a mispole.

You’re right, because the picture I saw was from Iniochos21.

Has anybody managed to read any of the stored F-4s located on the disused runway. I'm sure that there are few more parked up now compared to last year.

No-one (as yet) seems to have mentioned the 4th AlA46 Hornet, 46-07 /C.15-79 read from the road outside around 16.00 on Wednesday.

Quick question for those that visited on Wednesday. Was the booking-in done by Country of Origin as it was in 2022, or just first come, first served?

There were three check-in desks. For English and Dutch spotters it was past the gate on the left side. Be sure you have a receipt of your bank account that you paid €20,=. They will check that.
Have fun Wednesday.
Cheers, Theo

It's an early request, I know, but is there someone who read the serials, or some of them of the stored F-4's on the other side of the runway?
For those who are interested: the 2 F4's in the hangar, visible in the morning, are the 01518 and 01520.
Thanks for these two - do you mind if I ask if you read them off

Is there anybody from on here going tomorrow and staying at the Hotel Poseidon by any chance?
Could meet up for a beer or two.
