Greece 2008

10-11-2008 Araxos


After talking about for a few years know we finely made it to Greece for the yearly open days of the Hellenic Air force this year. In the period to the open days we also arranged visits to the Navy and Army making this trip complete in its overview of the flying branches of the Greek defense forces. On arrival at Athens international airport at 01:15 in the morning we collected our rental car and made our way to the hotel in Elefsina.
After a short night we where of for the first day and so many fields as possible.

The first base was Araxos, home of the last A-7 squadron of the Hellenic Air Force. Under a very nice blue sky we entered the base and where on the static in no time. As expected the static was not very big, but still some very nice aircraft present and displayed in a way that was good for pictures. It was amazing how much was possible this in contrary of some of the stories told over the last years. With the possibility of three more bases to visit this day it was of to Andravia only half a our away.
