Lt.Gen Ionnis Giagkos,chief of the Hellenic Air Force General Staff accepted the first Peace Xenia IV F-16 Block 52 at a ceremony at Lockheed Fort Worth,Texas on 19 March.

The first four airplanes from this batch of 30 airplanes will be ferried to Araxos for 335 Mira in May and the remainder by the end of 2010.

No doubt Lajes will be the first base outside of the USA to see these airplanes.
