All jets and the Orliks operated from other airfields even though the runway is almost 2km long. Light for photography gets poor here after 2PM, but alternative outside spots at the Rwy 03 end are within a short walking distance.
A shuttle bus run to the museum on the north side during the mornings. There's a rare SB2C Helldiver in the museum hangar, unfortunately in a dark corner. The eastern rows of the museum were off limits for some reason. I was briefly admitted there by a friendly officer, but told not to photograph towards the east, including the stored Grumman Ag-Cats. After a few minutes the officer got a phone call and I had to leave.
I stayed in the Kifisia district, but be aware that city bus 504 was diverted on the airshow days. I ended up walking the whole way, which was not too far but rather unpleasant due to main roads without sidewalks, hilly terrain and lots of dogs.
A seaside 'pre-show' was held off Athens-Faliro (Phaleron) on Wed 9. The Saudi Hawks team displayed there but not at Tatoi. I noted them at ATH airport on the 11th, with two C-130s in support including 1622.
