Congratulations to the Hellenic Airforce..

..on their 100th Anniversary.

In a Nikos World exclusive the latest addition to the HAF fleet is captured during a test flight over Germany.  This sole JU52 will replace the aging fleet of C130s that are languishing at Tanagra AFB awaiting spares.

    sort of like our Canadian Navy. Out of our fleet of 3 ships, they are all probably docked somewhere waiting for parts too

  2. In some ways, the older stuff is easier to keep running than the more modern stuff. That probably applies to planes as well.

    Nice shot.

  3. I wonder if it was, in fact, training the Greek Paratrooper.

    Don't tell the Greeks - they'll use them as floating tavernas.

    At least there is no canBus in the old JU52!

    It's traditionally the Germans who arrive by parachute in Greece...
