Disbandment 348 MTA Hellenic Air Force 4/5 May 2017

[Paul]

Are you sure about 7519?

I am asking because it is definitely preserved on plinths at the 140th Operational Intelligence & Electronic Warfare Group at Larissa.

The fifth active RF-4E was 7496. I suppose this one is now in Andravida.

That's correct, 7496 is in Andravida AB.

Thank you Paul for the confirmation

My friends,

please find below a message from 348 MTA.

Dear friends,

in order to avoid any misunderstanding we would like to inform you of the following:
The list with 535 spotters is final and there will not be any further increase of the number of participants! The first 535 who sent the application are on the list and will of course participate in this event! Someone will only be excluded if the relevant authorities find anything alarming for the security of the unit and of the entire organization. This is not in our responsibility!
For the record, the number of 535 came after the huge participation from your side, by increasing the initial number of 300 to 500, and the good will from our side to satisfy as many of you as possible.
We just had to stop by 500 due to eventual organizational problems and timely begining of the security checks! We should not forget that this event takes place in a military area with certain restrictions!

Finally, please forgive us any omissions or errors since it is the first time for all of us, that such an event is organized in this way!

Thank you very much for your understanding!

[F17_114PM]

Dear friends,

a small message from 348 MTA:

Just inform the embassy about your visit and attach a copy of your passport / ID card.
Only the persons that will not be allowed to participate, because of security reasons, will be informed personally.
Whether or not the embassies will answer, is outside of our control.
The security check is in progress.

Just ensure that you book a accommodation, since there is increased demand during this days!

Many greetings

Dear friends,

Due to my job obligations I have just attended the Spotters Day (4-5-2017). It was a great event to attend, though some gaps were apparent. Here is the special one RF-4E 7499. Enjoy

Does anybody have the numbers of the three Larissa based F-16's that took off around 15:00LT? and maybe also the number of the Nea Anchialos F-16 that made a low approach?

I have noted the following greek F-16's:

F-16C 531
F-16C 524
F-16D 600
F-16C 508
F-16D 619

I heard from another spotter that two of the three aircraft that took off around 15:00 where 619 and 502? Could 502 be the 507 you mention? and is 532 the missing third aircraft from the 15:00 wave?
