Probably something to do with this ceremony 9 visiting F-16's were parked at nearby Andravida.
Because of the heatwaves we could only indintify 618 F-16D (343 Mira) and 081 (347 Mira).Someone with more luck here ?

Thanks. 087 is not correct. I think the missing one is also a F-16 from Souda.

[wamovements]

Will ask my source again, he also has a picture of the missing one.
