Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Which one(s) is taken where? Or do you mean Trapani based Eufi(s) at Deci?

Interesting photos! :)

The paint of that Greek F-4 Phantom does look a bit "tired" now, though.... :wink:

But still very much alive and kicking!
Interesting tail-art, looks like what? An ancient Central-American Maya-fighter?!?

Quite probably all the pictures were taken during last VEGA exercise, held between Sicilia and Sardegna during the second half of October. Trapani and Decimomannu were two of the bases involved: most of the AMI fighter jet were deployed in Trapani, while the F-4s in Decimomannu in the last deployment of 339Mira outside Greece.

It's 339 Mira which has 'Aias' (Ajax) as its squadron badge, a Greek hero from the Trojan Wars. This is a very badly painted version of the badge!
