Greece II 2014

In 2014 we travelled to Greece twice; for the A-7 retirement and for the November open days. The November open days were visited by 4Aviation for the seventh time in a row already.

We had agreed to meet at Schiphol at 04.30 in the morning already on Thursday 5 November for the seventh 4Aviation tour to Greece in November. All eight participants of the tour were in time. After an uneventful Transavia flight we landed at the airport of Athens in time. Unfortunately not all baggage had joined us this time; one bag was still at Schiphol…. The rental car was quickly picked up, all took their seats and the first helicopters of the Hellenic fire department and police were already read. After that we headed for Megara AB, an army base with lots of Chinooks, UH-1Hs, NH90s and AB205As. After scoring some serials there we continued via some wrecks and relics and Tripolis AB to our hotel. In the evening we have enjoyed a good meal in the hotel and exchanged the first serials. Although today was a ‘travel’ day we had seen a lot again!
