30/7 was an interesting (and frustrating) day. Falcon 900 F-RAFP was noted inbound to Heraklion.

Passing southbound to the east of Heraklion was a sand coloured C130, followed by 3 AH64s. I got some pictures of the Apaches, they appear to be IDF.

Anyone aware of an Israeli deployment to Greece around the 30th July?
