Hi Rob,

Great log as usual!

Note that 335 and 336 are 116PM aircraft.

And it seems that Araxos is now providing aircraft for the F-16V conversion and that they are reassigned to Souda after their conversion (i.e. the two 343M aircraft?)

Regards, Paul

[r.e.hendriks]

Thanks Paul...

Indeed a small typo on the 116PM will correct that.

According to Scramble DB, 005, 006 and 508 are converted to F-16V.... will correct that as well.

Greetz Rob.

I think 507 is also converted to F-16V.

I'm still working on them to read them from my photo's but so far the following stored F4's I could read off, or identified:

01505 F-4E (AUP) HAF stored
01517 F-4E (AUP) HAF stored
71765 RF-4E HAF stored
71744 F-4E (AUP) HAF spec.tail, stored
68-0402 F-4E HAF stored
(35+24) RF-4E ex Luftwaffe stored
(35+87) RF-4E ex Luftwaffe stored
(67-0350) F-4E HAF stored

+ I think some 18 more F-4E

Hope someone have more serials from this line of stored F-4's.

Additions seen in the area:

009 F-16C 335M
015 F-16C 335M
27 Rafale M
600 F-16D 337M
71745 F-4E (AUP) 338M

[Ronny]

Where did you saw the 71745, and the F16's?

[747woody]

Where did you saw the 71745, and the F16's?

009 and 600 were seen low level on the 4th, 71745 and 015 flew on the 8th.

[Adraf]

Were these three F-16s parked inside the shelters on the northeast side?

[Fishbed_9307]

Where did you saw the 71745, and the F16's?

009 and 600 were seen low level on the 4th, 71745 and 015 flew on the 8th.

The F-16’s might have been operating from their home base and not Iniochos related? No 337 aircraft have been seen operating from Andravida this week.

The 335M jets were in flights with other 335M jets listed above.

The 337M jet was a singleton, so who knows?

Per ADSB the Montenegrin B412 has already left (northbound, well past Tirana) 13.30Z Tuesday

Good work!
Another one is (68-0445) F-4E std and also another RF-4E could be seen in camo. Standing behind 01517. I think this one is 7496, but I’m not sure.

How did you identify 68-0445? Because serial is between brackets?

Yep 7496 was behind 01517

I saw not many people do their best to read those F-4’s

I read:

01513
01528
71759
01517
7496 Green
01618
(71744) blue 65 years 339. Next to this one was another special marked One.
71765 Camo
402 Grey
Two more ex German Green Ones, should be (7534 and 7471)
I think one more F-4 beginning with 717xx

We also read (from outside) the two F-4s parked near the runway
01504 and 71756

[witje]

68-0445 from Eurodemobbed and compared with my pictures it must be this one
