[Tim Jones]

With not many Wrecks to hunt down this time I managed to see the following.

742 OH-13 at a military Barraks in Volos 39 22 34.57N 22 56 05.97E on the 5/11

The same day we visited Larissa

Static 532, 502 qnd 130 F-16's

7495, 7464 and 7496 F-4's

In an adjacent hanger to the static there was at least one F-16 and an F-4 any offers?

Nea Ankhialos

Static 148, 133, 056, 063 and 077 F-16's

There where also several F-16's parked out on the far side.

I then spent a little time with no luck trying to see the F-5 38416 that is preserved on the far side in the 341 Mira area.
Can it be seen from anywhere and indeed the F-84F dumped near the 330 Mira area?

On the Sunday after Tanagra we headed for Tatoi.
I was very please to see F-5 (66-9)138 which is pole mounted. I saw a spot on Google earth and thought I would give it a try
38 07 04.50N 23 46 53.96E

On the final day 8/11/11

Lefktra 7426 F-104

Egaleo (26811) F-84 in not such good shape.

Cheers,

Tim.
