Hellenic Aid http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum In the early hours of Tuesday, August 17, 1999 a powerful earthquake measuring more than seven on the Richter scale struck the northwest coast of Turkey, near Izmit, in the most prosperous and highly developed area of the country. According to some estimates, more than 30,000 people died and more than 600,000 buildings were destroyed within 20 kilometres of the epicentre, while one third of the city of Gialova sank into the water.The earthquake had also destroyed the electric power network. Technicians tried hard to repair the power system, but this activity was halted by the refinery's general manager, who feared that short circuits might cause new fires. Most refinery workers lived in the immediate area and many were dead or injured and, as a result, there were few people with knowledge of the refinery's operation or its layout available to help fight the fire. Only 200 of the refinery's 3,000 employees came to the site during the remainder of the day. Thirty minutes after the earthquake, the distillation tower in the Turpas refinery (Turkey's largest refinery) collapsed, causing the outbreak of fire in four large petroleum storage tanks. Shortly after sending rescue teams (Greek firefighters and commandos) and humanitarian aid, Greece also sent aerial firefighting resources in response to Turkey's request. The aerial firefighting mission was under the operational command of the Greek Fire Corps. The equipment consisted of one S-64 helicopter with internal tanks having a capacity of nine tons of water; one Bombardier 415 amphibious firefighting aircraft; and, one C-130 CA transport aircraft, which delivered technical equipment, foam, engineers and the support crews. This equipment arrived in Turkey in the morning of August 18, and remained until August 21, with the exception of the helicopter. The Bombardier 415 aircraft was one of Greece's two 415s, operated by the Hellenic Air Force, while the helicopter was leased and employed in forest firefighting duties in Greece. Situation in Turkey By the afternoon of August 18, when the Greek mission arrived at the refinery, the situation in Izmit was very grave. While people were dealing with the destruction caused by the earthquake, the two most pressing problems were continuing rescue efforts to reach those trapped in the ruins, and the fire in the refinery. Thick smoke from the fire covered the entire area, further complicating matters. In the refinery, the earthquake had destroyed the water supply infrastructure. The refinery's mobile water pumps had been requested by the Crisis Management Committee and had been moved to the relief camps to support victims or to the disaster areas to support the rescue crews. In addition, seawater close to the refinery was unusable for firefighting as it was covered with oil. The earthquake had also destroyed the electric power network. Technicians tried hard to repair the power system, but this activity was halted by the refinery's general manager, who feared that short circuits might cause new fires. Most refinery workers lived in the immediate area and many were dead or injured and, as a result, there were few people with knowledge of the refinery's operation or its layout available to help fight the fire. Only 200 of the refinery's 3,000 employees came to the site during the remainder of the day. By the end of the day of the earthquake, five petroleum storage tanks were on fire, with flames shooting more than 200 feet in the air. The fire plume, with high temperature gases and extreme radiant heat, was approaching a cluster of spherical tanks that could not be cooled. A Turkish S-2 Tracker aircraft operating in the area, and dropping three tons of retardant at two-hour intervals from a height of 500 feet had made no progress containing the fire. In total, the Greek Bombardier 415 aircraft operated for 16 hours of direct firefighting, with eight sorties and 280 tons of foam dropped. The operation also established a number of 'firsts', including first foreign use of a Greek firefighting aircraft and first Greek military aircraft operating from a Turkish military airport. More importantly, the mission also marked the first operational use of firefighting aircraft against a refinery fire. The operation in Turkey was an unqualified success and could not have been achieved without the bravery and professionalism of the Air Force officers and non-commissioned officers aboard the aircraft. The Greek contribution was noted in major Turkish newspapers -- and by the general manager of the Turpas refinery, who said: "The Greek firemen were the first to arrive and the most effective of all." A country of 10 million people helped a country of 70 million people that had no firefighting planes.

Greece then strategically decided to remove all nuclear weapons under storage in Greece and did not purchase any more aircraft with nuclear mounting capabilities. In September 2004 started the Mirage 2000BG/EG fleet upgrade to the standard 2000-5 Mk2 and the project was undertaken by the French manufacturer Dassault and the Hellenic Aerospace Industry (EAB). Fifteen aircraft were ordered, while ten more were undertaken for upgrade by Dassault and EAB. The enhancements include upgraded radar and avionics, air-refueling capabilities, new self-defense system and upgraded engine, while the cockpit has taken some serious reforms. In 2005, Greece was among the first countries to add the F-16 Block 52+ to its inventory. Ninety of these 4.5th [3] generation aircraft were ordered and delivery begun the same year. This advanced F-16 type is an improved version of the Block 50 featuring a more powerful radar, better communications systems and an upgraded engine. The Hellenic Air Force's Block 52+ belong to the 337, 340 and 343 Squadrons with call signs "Ghost", "Fox" and "Star" respectively. 337 SQ is based at Larissa Air Force Base (110 Combat Wing) and the other two in Souda AB (115 CW). As of 2008, the Hellenic Air Force has a combat fleet of 358 modern or upgraded aircraft. Due to the retirement of units that have ended their operational life (A-7E Corsair II), the HAF should be looking forward to acquiring new 4th, 4.5th or 5th generation fighters in order to reach a total number of 300 advanced fighters, according to the "2007 Supreme Air Force Council Momentum" which was published in 2007. This goal cannot be reached in the foreseeable future due to the slow down of the performance of the Greek economy for the years 2007-2008. The Hellenic Air Force (HAF) (Greek: Πολεμική Αεροπορία (ΠΑ), Polemikí Aeroporía) is the air force of Greece. The mission of the Hellenic Air Force is to guard and protect the Greek airspace, provide air assistance and support to the Hellenic Army and the Hellenic Navy as well as humanitarian aid (upon request) in Greece and around the world. During the period of monarchy (1935-1973) the force was known as the Hellenic Royal Air Force (Ελληνική Βασιλική Αεροπορία (EBA), Ellinikí Vasilikí Aeroporía). The motto of the Hellenic Air Force is "Αίεν Υψικρατείν" meaning "Always Dominate the Heights" and the HAF ensign represents a flying eagle in front of the Hellenic Air Force roundel. The Hellenic Air Force is one of the three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces. Until the late 1980s the Air Force deployed Nike-Hercules Missiles armed with U.S. nuclear warheads. As a result of Greco-Turkish tensions around the 1974 Turkish invasion in Cyprus, the U.S. removed its nuclear weapons from Greek and Turkish alert units to storage. Greece saw this as another pro-Turkish move by NATO and withdrew its forces from NATO's military command structure from 1974 to 1980. In 1988 the first fourth[2] generation fighters were introduced, marking the beginning of a new era: the first Mirage 2000 EG/BG aircraft were delivered to the 114 Combat Wing and equipped the 331 and 332 squadrons. In January 1989, the first F-16C/D Block 30 arrived in Nea Anchialos (111 Combat Wing) and were allocated between the 330 and 346 squadrons. In March 29, 1991 the RF-84F were retired from service after 34 years and 7 months of operational life. In November 1992 more RF-4E were delivered to the 348 Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. In 1997 the reception of fourth generation aircraft continued. In July, delivery of forty F-16 Block 50 began. The new aircraft, equipped with the LANTIRN navigation and targeting pod as well as AMRAAM and HARM missiles, were allocated to the 341 and 347 squadrons. haf hellas hellenic greece greek air force aegean macedonia thrace tuaf turkey iaf israel dogfight flight cockpit f-102 f102 f 102 mirage 2000 2000-5 mk2 a7 a-7 a-7e a-7h corsair vought f-4 f4e rf-4 phantom fantom spook f-16 f16 falcon viper block 30 40 52 52+ advanced t-2 t2e t-2e buckeye t-6 t6 texan f-5 freedom fighter dassault f1 f-1 keat sot ikarwn ikaron pea 120 sholi t-37 tweet t37 spin icarus hud avtr low level flight napalm bombing f-86 f-83 noratlas cyprus mission hellenic flame acro team Tags: haf

Hellenic Hoplites - Hellenic Infantry http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum The Hellenic Army (Greek: Ελληνικός Στρατός) is the land force of Greece. The Army of the modern nation of Greece has a history of nearly 190 years and came to its present form, gradually through those years. Motto of the Hellenic Army is "Freedom Stems from Valor" (Greek: "Ελεύθερον το Εύψυχον") and the Hellenic Army Emblem represents the two-headed eagle looking both left and right and the white cross in blue background placed in the middle. After two major reorganisations in the last five years, currently the Hellenic Army consists of two major commands, the Hellenic Army General Staff-HAGS and the Hellenic National Defense General Staff-HNDGS. Formations under the command of HAGS include the I and IV Army Corps, tasked with the defence of the terrestrial borders; the Supreme Military Command of Interior and Islands, which is responsible for the Aegean islands; the Supreme Military Support Command, which provides logistic support to the Army; and the Order of Battle, Training and Inspection Command, which oversees the administration, education and training of the officer corps. The other component of the Hellenic Army, HNDGS, commands the II Army Corps, which functions as the rapid reaction force of the Hellenic Army and comprises special, elite and aviation forces. There are three classes of personnel in the Hellenic Army, namely professional, volunteer and conscript. Conscript enlisted men and non-commissioned officers wear special rank insignia to differentiate them from volunteers. There are currently 109,266 personnel on active duty. Mobilization strength is 365,000 more. Most professional officers graduate from the Evelpidon Military Academy in Athens (Στρατιωτική Σχολή Ευελπίδων) and the Corps Officers Military Academy in Thessaloniki (Στρατιωτική Σχολή Αξιωματικών Σωμάτων), while the rest graduate from various Military Schools according to their specialization. In the chain of command, graduates of the two Military Academies in Athens and Thessaloniki are considered higher in seniority compared to professional officers of the same rank who graduate from specialised Military Schools. The latter officers are followed in seniority by volunteer and finally conscript staff. The heavy equipment and weaponry of the Hellenic Army is mostly of foreign manufacture, from German, French, American, British and Russian suppliers. A notable exception is the native-built Leonidas armored fighting vehicle by the Hellenic Vehicles Manufacturer Industry (ELBO). Equipment runs the gamut from state-of-the art to obsolescent Cold War inventories; the latter are gradually being retired. Most combat arms are called "Arm" (Όπλον). This term demotes army elements that, more or less, have direct participation in combat. Most support branches are called "Corps" (Σώμα), with some exceptions. tags; marines marine corp seal seals gign rangers katadromeis katadromeas katadromis sof special forces ouk eidikes dunameis oyk pezonautes g-3 a3 m-16 m-4 m16 m4 c-130 c130 ch-47 ch47 chinook paratroopers paratrooper alexiptwtistes spartans athenians warriors hoplites alexiptotistes uh-1 uh1 huey vatrahia makedonia macedonia greece hellas turkey serbia fyrom turkey turkye Song Arno Cost & Arias - Magenta Enjoy Tags: greece greek hellas hellenic byzantium army corp marine marines oyk ouk seal paratroop commandos g-3 m-16

Hellenic Artillery http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum The system is capable of firing guided and unguided projectiles to a distance of up to 42 km.Firing modern munitions it is capable of reaching out to 300 km.The M270 is a very mobile unit,thus well suited for the so called shoot-and-scoot tactic: it can fire its rockets very rapidly and immediately move away to avoid the counter-battery fire. MLRS was developed jointly by the United Kingdom,United States,Germany and France. The launcher can hold two pods at a time,which it loads using an integrated crane. All twelve rockets or two ATACMS missiles can be fired in under a minute.One launcher firing twelve rockets can completely blanket one square kilometer with submunitions. For this reason,the MLRS is sometimes referred to as the 'Grid Square Removal Service'. RM-70 was developed in Czechoslovakia achieving initial operational capability with its Army in 1972. Originally,it was sold to East Germany. The new carrier vehicle provides enough space for carrying 40 additional 122mm rockets pack for reload.This rocket launcher can fire both individual rounds and volleys,principally by means of indirect fire.It is designed for concentrated fire coverage of large areas by high explosive fragmentation shells.The fire is robust with almost 256 kg of explosives used in one volley of 40 rockets. The rockets used are either the original Soviet 9M22 and 9M28,or locally developed models. These are the JROF with a range of 20.75 km,the JROF-K with a range of 11 km,the "Trnovnik" with 63 HEAT-bomlets and with a range of 17.5 km, the "Kuš" with five PPMI-S1 anti-personnel mines or the "Krizhna-R" with 4 anti-tank mines PTMI-D and with a range of 19,450 m. The PzH 2000 is one of the most powerful conventional artillery systems currently deployed. It is particularly notable for a very high rate of fire; in burst mode it can fire three rounds in 9 seconds,ten rounds.The replenishment of shells is automated.PzH 2000 has also been selected by the armies of Italy,Netherlands and Greece,and more orders are probable as many NATO forces replace their M109 howitzers. The 9K33 Osa is a highly mobile, low-altitude,short-range tactical surface-to-air missile system.Its NATO reporting name is SA-8 "Gecko". The Tor Missile System torus is a Russian made low to medium-altitude,short-range surface-to-air missile system designed for engaging airplanes,helicopters,cruise missiles, precision guided munitions,unmanned aerial vehicles and ballistic targets.It is designed to protect targets from attack at all times and in any weather,not only by shooting down attacking aircraft but also by destroying any munitions before they reach their target. The MIM-104 Patriot is a surface-to-air missile system,the primary of its kind used by the United States Army and several allied nations. It is manufactured by the Raytheon Company of the United States. Patriot uses an advanced aerial interceptor missile and high performance radar systems.

Hellenic Human Rights Rally, US Mission to The UN, SHAME ON FYROM Promotional Video for the Hellenic Human Rights Rally - October 27th 2008 at the United States Mission to the UN SHAME ON FYROM! HELLENIC HUMAN RIGHTS RALLY, US Mission to The UN WHERE: 140 East 45th Street (between Third and Lexington Avenues), NEW YORK CITY WHEN : October 27th, 2008, Monday 12noon-2PM The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) mobilizes community activists, with the support of the PAN-MACEDONIAN ASSOCIATION USA, and other like-minded human rights activists , just outside the United States Mission to the UN in midtown Manhattan. All who believe in justice and American democratic values, are encouraged to join us and demand that FYROM—perpetrator of cultural genocide against the historic Hellenic community, unapologetic false historical revisionist, former Nazi collaborator, culpable for Communist crimes against humanity, and unrepentant violator of human rights be properly investigated by the US State Department Human Rights division for denying Hellenic people the human right to Hellenic identity and Hellenic nationality. The government of FYROM (with its capital in Skopje) has a long legacy of anti-Hellenic cultural genocide, the previous Communist regime forcibly transferred Hellenic nationals, and prior to this the pro-Nazi regime forcibly occupied Hellenic land, forcibly transferred Hellenic people, and targeted Hellenic people for massacres and torture. All governments in FYROM, by use of force together with racist propaganda and official racist discrimination, to this day have deprived the Hellenic people of their integrity as a distinct people, by use of forcible assimilation or integration by the majority Slavophone cultures or ways of life imposed on them by legislative, administrative or other measures including terror. According to Article 15 of the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A of 10 December 1948. 1. Everyone has the right to a nationality. 2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality. Article 7 of the United Nations Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (26 August 1994) [4] uses the phrase cultural genocide. The complete article reads as follows: Indigenous peoples have the collective and individual right not to be subjected to ethnocide and cultural genocide, including prevention of and redress for: (a) Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their cultural values or ethnic identities; (b) Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources; (c) Any form of population transfer which has the aim or effect of violating or undermining any of their rights; (d) Any form of assimilation or integration by other cultures or ways of life imposed on them by legislative, administrative or other measures; (e) Any form of propaganda directed against them. FYROM is guilty of all of the above itemized sub-articles . The HELLENIC HUMAN RIGHTS RALLY will demand an end to the continuing campaign by the FYROM government to deny the Hellenic identity and Hellenic nationality and call for human rights violations against the Hellenic community to be publicly investigated and condemned by the US State Department. Participants will be provided signs, and Hellenic flags. Speakers will include community activists and human rights experts, and sets of live instrumental music from Macedonia. Please be advised that community affairs in New York do not permit signs or banners or flagpoles that are not made from paper or cloth. The HELLENIC HUMAN RIGHTS RALLY includes the distribution of thousands of informational pamphlets, stickers, t-shirts and expert media packets for the press. Banners will display the slogans SHAME ON FYROM , IDENTITY THEFT OF THE 3,000 YEAR GREEK HERITAGE OF MACEDONIA FYROM STOP ABUSING THE HELLENIC COMMUNITY FYROM GUILTY OF GREEK CHILD ABDUCTION COMMUNIST BRUTALITY: 1949 28,000 GREEK CHILDREN FORCIBLY TRANSFERRED BY CRIMINAL FYROM Support www.cyprusactionnetwork.org Tags: Macedonia Human Rights Greek Hellenic Monastiri Macedonian United States Mission UN New York FYROM Greece Rally Skopje ΣΚΟΠΙΑ ΝΤΡΟΠΗ ΣΤΗ ΠΓΔΜ ΣΥΝΑΓΕΡΜΟΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΙΝΑ ΔΙΚΑΙΩΜΑΤΑ Κυπριακό Δίκτυο Δράσης Cyprus Action Network America

History Of Hellenic Air Force (HAF) Part 1/2 History Of Hellenic Air Force 1911-1934 The admirable weapon of the skies, the Hellenic Air Force, with its dynamic present and brilliant future, has a glorious history to display, full of continuous struggles for the country's independence and freedom. In 1911 the Hellenic Government assigned the establishment of an Air Service to French experts. As a result six officers were posted to France in order to be trained as pilots, while the first military aircraft were ordered from the French firm Maurice and Henry Farman. On February 8, 1912 the first flight in Greece was performed by the aviator Emmanuel Argyropoulos with a 50-hp Nieuport. The same day, Argyropoulos carried out a second flight with the then prime minister Eleftherios Venizelos on board. On May 13, 1912 1st lieutenant Dimitrios Kamberos flew the first military Henry Farman aircraft, and later participated in Army manoeuvres.In June of the same year while the establishment of a Naval Air Service was being examined, Kamperos, having converted the first Henry Farman «Daedalus» into a hydroplane flew at an average speed of 110Km per hour thus achieving a new world record.At the same time another pioneer, Alexandros Karamanlakis, conducting a flight from Phaleron to Patras with a 50-hp Bleriot aircraft performed an unsuccessful ditching in the Corithian Gulf and met his death, thus opening the pantheon of the sacrifices of the Hellenic epopee in the skies. On January 24, 1913 the first world wide war naval co-operation mission took place above the Dardanelles, which marked the history of naval operations. 1st lieutenat Michael Moutoussis and Ensign Aristedes Moraitines, on board the Maurice Farman hydroplane, drew up a diagram of the positions of the Turkish fleet, against which they dropped four bombs. This event was widely commented upon in the Press, both Greek and international. Noteworthy is the air fight of July 12, 1922 during which aviator Christophoros Stavropoulos shot down a Turkish Breguet north east of Afion Karachisar. Twenty three aviators offered their lives for the cause of the «Great Idea».The Asia Minor Campaign was followed by a long period of peace during which both the Hellenic Army and Naval Air Services were reorganised and upgraded. From 1925 new types of aircraft of English and, mainly, French manufacture (Gloster Mars Nighthawk, Fairey III F, Morane-Saulnier, Hawker Horsley, Avro 621 and 626 and Breguet Bre 19) were delivered. In co-operation with the British Company Blackburn Aeroplane, the Aircraft Factory was set up in Phaleron, where the T3A Velos hydroplanes and the Altas and Avro 504 aircraft were manufactured. On June 8, 1928 a significant achievement in relation to the capabilities of the then Army Air Service takes place. A Breguet Bre 19, appropriately adapted and named «HELLAS», with pilot 1st lieutenet Evangelos Papadakis and observer Colonel Christos Adamides on board, took off from Tatoi and flew around the Mediterranean sea in 20 days covering a distance of 12.000 Km. In 1930 the Air Ministry was founded and the Hellenic Air Force (known abroad as RHAF) was established as a unified independent branch of the Hellenic Armed Forces. Eleftherios Venizelos was sworn in as the first Air Minister and assigned the total reorganisation of the Branch to the experienced aviator Alexandros Zannas. In co-operation with the linguist Manolis Triantafyllides a new (RAF type) ranks structure -used until today- was established. In 1931 the Air Force Academy was founded in Tatoi and became the new officers' seedbed. The establishment of the Weather Bureau, run until today without any obstacle, constituted an achievement of vital importance for the safety of the flights. In 1934 the Hellenic Air Force General Staff was set up, while in the context of modernisation, new aircraft types, namely the PZL P24, Dornier Do 22, Avro Anson, Potez Po 63, Henschel Hs 126, Fairey Battle and Bristol Blenheim, were delivered and significant infrastructure works were carried out.

History Of Hellenic Air Force(HAF) Part 2/2 History Of Hellenic Air Force 1940-2000 The Hellenic Air Force's activities continued unabated during the offensive struggle too, while the large Spring attack of March 1941 was confronted successfully. The German invasion and the unequal (as realised from the begining) conflict with Luftwaffe did not prevent RHAF pilots from carrying out their duties once again in full.The Hellenic Air Force shot down 64 enemy aircraft while another 24 were claimed, too. Fifty-two dead aviators paid the price of freedom.Immediately after the arrival in the Middle East, of the five Avro Anson, one Dornier Do 22 and three Avro 626 which had escaped, the Hellenic Aviation began to be reorganized under the Ministry of Air Force based in Cairo.Three Hellenic squadrons were set up, namely the 13th Light Bombing Squadron (with Avro Anson, Bristol Blenheim and Martin A-30 Baltimore a/c) as well as the 335 and 336 Fighting Squadrons (with Hawker Hurricane and Submarine Spitfire) which joined, operationally, the allied air forces, operating in common with them. A/C maintenance and repair works as well as an Air Force General Hospital were established in Cairo. High level training was offered to flying and technical personnel at the Greek training centers in S. Rhodesia and S. Africa.The Greek Squadrons' war activities in the Middle East included convoy patrols, antisubmarine search, offensive patrols, reconnaissance, attacks and interceptions of the enemy air force.In November 1950, after the end of the operations of the Civil War, Greece, wishing to assist the United Nations, sent, to South Korea, the 13th Transport Aircraft Flight consisting of seven Douglas C-47 Dakota aircraft as well as 67 officers and soldiers..In 1953, the first Acroteam was raised from No 337 Squadron; with four Thunderjets it participated in many air shows both in Greece and abroad, thus painting world-wide glory and fame. Gradually, four Fighting Bombing Squadrons, namely Nos 336, 338, 339 and 340 were formed with F-84 Gs. In 1954 the F-86 Sabres were delivered and Nos 341, 342 and 343 Interception Squadrons were gradually raised. In the same year the HAF Joint Aerial Photograhy and Interpretation Centre was founded. In 1956 the 114 Combat Wing was established and Nos 341, 342 and 343 F-86s Squadrons were formed. The second acroteam, known as the ''Hellenic Flame'' was raised in August 1957 with F-86Es of No 341. Its aircraft, painted with impressive colours (blue, white and red) continued worthily the first «Acroteam»'s deeds while its pilots were awarded numerous decorations.In 1957 a new type of jet-fighters, the F-84Fs were delivered. No 335 Bombing Squadron was equipped with Thundersteaks and No 348's tactical reconnaissance inventory was strengthened with RF-84F Thunderflashes. In July of the same year, an attachment of No 335 Squadron of Tactical Transport conducted successfully the rescue operation of Greeks abroad in Kongo. In 1960 No 350 «Nike- Hercules» Squadron was created equipped with modern ground/air missiles. The third acroteam, the «New Hellenic Flame», was formed with five F-5s of No 337 in 1967. The HAF inventory was enriched significantly in 1969. In January the Convair F-102 A-40 Delta Daggers were delivered at 114 Combat Wing to replace the F-102s.In 1969 the new Grumman HU-16B Albatros formed No 353 Naval Co-operation Squadron.At the same time the NORD 2501 D Noratlas were delivered as an imperative solution for the accute problem of tactical transportation.In 1970, after the receipt of the Northorp RF-5As No 349 Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was raised at 111 CW, which was until flying with F-84Fs. In April 1974 the first second-generation F-4Es landed at 117 CW. Three Squadrons, Nos 339,338 and 337 were formed with Phantom IIs. In July 1974, No 354 Noratlas Squadron wrote a brilliant page of Hellenic aviation history with the air transportation operation of Greek rangers from Crete to Cyprus. In spite of the ageing aircraft and the adverse flying conditions, 12 of the 15 aircraft which participated in the mission «NIKI», landed on the airport of Nicosia. The shooting down of a Noratlas cost the life of a crew of four and 12 parachutists.1975 was a turning point for the modernisation of the HAF. In the summer of 1975 the first all weather bombing A-7 Corsairs equipped Nos 340, 345 and 347 Squadron of 115 CW.On August 4, 1975 the first two Mirage F-1 CGs landed at 114 CW. Equipped with modern weapon and air navigational systems the F-1s were delivered initially in No 342 and two years later in No 334 Squadrons. In September the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft were disposed to No 356, radically changing the philosophy of tactical transportation.

Hellenic Air Force http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum Song name : Dont ask i dont know it Hellenic Air Force Overview Mid 90's Today, modern fighters Mirage 2000 and F-16 constitute the HAF spear head. All other legendary assets continue to offer their services. At the dawn of the 21st century modernization efforts are still made intensively. The Phantom upgrade project is in the pipeline. Recently, it has been decided to proceed to the acquisition of long and short range air defense missile systems, namely Patriot and Crotale, which will contribute to the national air space to the maximum level possible. The new Raytheon T-6A Texan II training aircraft will change, radically, the nature of the initial and basic training the pilots, effectively preparing them for the fourth generation fighters. Decisions are waited soon on the acquisition of new multi role fighters, including the most recent technological innovations, of an early warning air-borne system as well as of a new transport aircraft. All the aforementioned render the Hellenic Air Force a reliable deterring power, absolutely modern and capable of meeting the challenges of the new century. The Hellenic Air Force with its 24-hour readiness and the Greek aviators with their high morale constitute today the impervious shield of our skies and protect the national air space The reception of the third generation aircraft was a turning point for Hellenic Air Force. In April 1988 the Mirage 2000 EG/BG landed on the 114 CW and equipped the 331 and, one year later, the 332 Squadron of All Weather. In January 1989, the F-16C/D Block 30 arrived in Nea Agchialos and were interposed in the 330 and 346 Squadron of the 111CW. On March 29, 1991 the RF-84F have been recalled after 34 years and 7 months of operational activities. In November 1992 more RF-4E were delivered and were disposed in the 348 Squadron on Tactical Reconnaissance. In 1997 the reception of third generation aircraft was continued. On July, 27 the first four F-16 Block 50 landed on the 111CW. The new aircraft, equipped with the advanced technology system of infrared navigation and night sighting of restricted height (LANTIRN) and missiles AMRAAM and HARM, were interposed in the recomposition Squadrons of all weather 341 and 347. In April 1974 the first second-generation F-4Es landed at 117 CW. Three Squadrons, Nos 339,338 and 337 were formed with Phantom IIs. In July 1974, No 354 Noratlas Squadron wrote a brilliant page of Hellenic aviation history with the air transportation operation of Greek rangers from Crete to Cyprus. In spite of the ageing aircraft and the adverse flying conditions, 12 of the 15 aircraft which participated in the mission «NIKI», landed on the airport of Nicosia. The shooting down of a Noratlas cost the life of a crew of four and 12 parachutists. 1975 was a turning point for the modernisation of the HAF.

In September the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft were disposed to No 356, radically changing the philosophy of tactical transportation. In December the hydroplane fire extinguishers Canadair CL-125s were received by No 355, which , since then, invaluably contribute to firefighting all over Greece. In 1976 the Tactical Weapons School was established in 117 CW. As a centre of Air Tactics, since 1983, it tests new weapon systems and tactics, contributing the greatest increace of Air Force's combat ability. In 1979 HAF added in its fleet the first RF-4E which have been allocated to No 348 Squadron Tags: haf greece hellas greek army nave air force hellenic a-7 corsair ii f-4 A7 f4-e rf-4e phantom t-37 tweety bird c-130 canadair cl-415 cl-215 hercules f-16 fighting falcon iaf tuaf turkey usaf pzl grumman block 30 40 52 mirage f-1 f-5 freedom fighter 2000 2000-5 mk2 it dalasi

''Hellenic Wings'' pt2 For aviation talk visit http://www.aviationlive.org/forum/index.php Edited by en52 Music Used Ravel - Bolero HEVIA - El Garrotin Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly Pink Floyd - One Of These Days Metallica - Wasting my Hate Tyler Bates - Returns a King Greece participated in NATO "nuclear weapons sharing" until 2001, using A-7 Corsair IIs to deploy tactical B61 nuclear warheads from Araxos Air Base. Greece then strategically decided to remove all nuclear weapons under storage in Greece and did not purchase any more aircraft with nuclear mounting capabilities. In September 2004 started the Mirage 2000BG/EG fleet upgrade to the standard 2000-5 Mk2 and the project was undertaken by the French manufacturer Dassault and the Hellenic Aerospace Industry (EAB). Fifteen aircraft were ordered, while ten more were undertaken for upgrade by Dassault and EAB. The enhancements include upgraded radar and avionics, air-refueling capabilities, new self-defense system and upgraded engine, while the cockpit has taken some serious reforms. In 2005, Greece was among the first countries to add the F-16 Block 52+ to its inventory. Ninety of these 4.5th [3] generation aircraft were ordered and delivery begun the same year. This advanced F-16 type is an improved version of the Block 50 featuring a more powerful radar, better communications systems and an upgraded engine. The Hellenic Air Force's Block 52+ belong to the 337, 340 and 343 Squadrons with call signs "Ghost", "Fox" and "Star" respectively. 337 SQ is based at Larissa Air Force Base (110 Combat Wing) and the other two in Souda AB (115 CW). As of 2008, the Hellenic Air Force has a combat fleet of 358 modern or upgraded aircraft. Due to the retirement of units that have ended their operational life (A-7E Corsair II), the HAF should be looking forward to acquiring new 4th, 4.5th or 5th generation fighters in order to reach a total number of 300 advanced fighters, according to the "2007 Supreme Air Force Council Momentum" which was published in 2007. This goal cannot be reached in the foreseeable future due to the slow down of the performance of the Greek economy for the years 2007-2008. The Hellenic Air Force (HAF) (Greek: Πολεμική Αεροπορία (ΠΑ), Polemikí Aeroporía) is the air force of Greece. The mission of the Hellenic Air Force is to guard and protect the Greek airspace, provide air assistance and support to the Hellenic Army and the Hellenic Navy as well as humanitarian aid (upon request) in Greece and around the world. During the period of monarchy (1935-1973) the force was known as the Hellenic Royal Air Force (Ελληνική Βασιλική Αεροπορία (EBA), Ellinikí Vasilikí Aeroporía). The motto of the Hellenic Air Force is "Αίεν Υψικρατείν" meaning "Always Dominate the Heights" and the HAF ensign represents a flying eagle in front of the Hellenic Air Force roundel. The Hellenic Air Force is one of the three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces. Until the late 1980s the Air Force deployed Nike-Hercules Missiles armed with U.S. nuclear warheads. As a result of Greco-Turkish tensions around the 1974 Turkish invasion in Cyprus, the U.S. removed its nuclear weapons from Greek and Turkish alert units to storage. Greece saw this as another pro-Turkish move by NATO and withdrew its forces from NATO's military command structure from 1974 to 1980. In 1988 the first fourth[2] generation fighters were introduced, marking the beginning of a new era: the first Mirage 2000 EG/BG aircraft were delivered to the 114 Combat Wing and equipped the 331 and 332 squadrons. In January 1989, the first F-16C/D Block 30 arrived in Nea Anchialos (111 Combat Wing) and were allocated between the 330 and 346 squadrons. In March 29, 1991 the RF-84F were retired from service after 34 years and 7 months of operational life. In November 1992 more RF-4E were delivered to the 348 Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. In 1997 the reception of fourth generation aircraft continued. In July, delivery of forty F-16 Block 50 began. The new aircraft, equipped with the LANTIRN navigation and targeting pod as well as AMRAAM and HARM missiles, were allocated to the 341 and 347 squadrons. haf hellas hellenic greece greek air force aegean macedonia thrace tuaf turkey iaf israel dogfight flight cockpit f-102 f102 f 102 mirage 2000 2000-5 mk2 a7 a-7 a-7e a-7h corsair vought f-4 f4e rf-4 phantom fantom spook f-16 f16 falcon viper block 30 40 52 52+ advanced t-2 t2e t-2e buckeye t-6 t6 texan f-5 freedom fighter dassault f1 f-1 keat sot ikarwn ikaron pea 120 sholi t-37 tweet t37 spin icarus hud avtr low level flight napalm bombing f-86 f-83 noratlas cyprus mission hellenic flame acro team Tags: haf
