Greece 2008

Next stop was Kalamata the only place where you still can see live T-2 Buckeyes.

Still on schedule to make for airbases on one day we went on Kalamata air base. A little careful we stated taking pictures of the static that was more a American stile of static with no ropes and people all over the planes. After just a few minutes we where approached by a safety officer who told us that taking picture of the flight line was not allowed and if we wanted something we had just to ask him. And we did, can we take pictures of the gate guards, sure no problem as long as you only take pictures of the gate guard.

With the mountains in the background Kalamata made  for some nice scenic shots and our first T-41, a aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force not seen outside Greece.

As there was still time before darkness at 17:00 we made our way to Tripoli air base. At this base there is no active squadron, it has a technical school and a collection of preserved aircraft. At the gate we where stopped and told that taking pictures was not allowed, as this was the last base we where visiting this day we still entered to se the display
