Athens Flying Week 2023 HIGHLIGHTS #1: F-4 Phantom, T-2, Mirage, Rafale, Tornado,...

[@jernejfunkl8300]

All planes are beautiful... But the Phantom is still the most beautiful :)

[@Kumyar]

This almost looks unreal. I dont know how to describe camera work. Its almost game like. Perfect smoothness, stability and plane always in the center of the shot. Just amazingly beautiful. Well done.

[@FRAproductions]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback and support! We really appreciate to read this! We wish you all a great weekend!

good use of FOW

[@syedayanather713]

Its called tracking its in aftereffects or premier pro

Is this fake?​@@syedayanather713

This is how gaming companies create their games. They get good YT footage and do the job. Otherwise, how would they know. They aren't cameramen. By the way, this is from Greece, the only few RF4-Phantom II we've left active. It's the spy-version, but the optics have been upgraded relatively recently in 2004. That's why we leave them be for a while with all those waves of dinghies trying to cross the Aegean Sea into the European Union. I happen to be Aircraft's Engineer in one of our types and once, I've had to scramble myself my own girl to give us clear picture immediately because we spotted activity in coastal Turkey. For those who don't know, since Greece has a combination of mainland and countless islands, we were able to build the densest radar coverage network in the world. Nothing can fly over the Greek pond (The Aegean Sea), without us knowing. Our main problem is we maintain too many types of aircrafts. We're the first country worldwide which took the "OK" by the US and now upgrade our F16 from Gen 4 block 50/52Adv to the latest, Gen 4,5 block 70/72 with AESA Radars and other goodies. We do it internally. Even Engine Hours get "Zeroed" in case you're familiar of similar terminology. Besides, every F16 everywhere you see, the 30% is made-in Greece. The 2nd type will be the Rafale F3R and the 3rd, the F35s. The last have been approved, but unfortunately will arrive a little late due to high demand. At least, the Greek F35s will officially have the first major upgrade embedded without extra cost. One last type we MIGHT keep, the fully upgraded Mirage 2000-5 because they can carry most of the weapons the Rafale can. Well, not the Meteor (long range) and Magic II (short-medium range), but the tactical ones like the SCALP and Exocet (anti-ship) block III. Will we see what will happen. I think we will eventually sell the Mirage since we bought Predator drones and now build our own, armed ones in collaboration with Israel. Obviously, the training ones, too, the M-346. We currently built a new Pilot's School in Southern Greece, again, in collaboration with Israel all in accordance with the USA's standards but adapted to our needs. Greek and Israeli pilots, we're really good friends. Since they don't have much of an airspace for training, we give them ours to virtually aim targets, and we train each other. When Greece will receive the F35s, none in the vast wider area will be able match the Greek and Israeli Air-Forces which will be similar even in tactics.

We hope you enjoy the footage

Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback! We really appreciate that! We wish you all a nice weekend!

[@keithbogus989]

As a youngster I lived but a few hundred yards from the old Athens airport and we used to ride our bikes down to the edge of the runway and watch tandem F-4 takeoffs. The shear noise, smells and sights were all brought back watching the Greek F-4s. Great job FRA!

[@FRAproductions]

Huge thanks for sharing your story and the great and positive feedback! We really appreciate that! Seems like you had an awesome aviation-related childhood, living in one of the lucky Phantom countries! We are glad we could take you back to the Phantom era a little bit :) We wish you all a nice weekend!

[@niner4lfe]

Badass HD footage of the legendary F-4

One of the easiest and quickest likes I've given. This is the most amazing footage of Phantoms I've seen and it's my all time favorite. Shout out to the Greeks for keeping them and flying them amazingly well. ❤

[@NoName-ip4tt]

When I was a kid, (an era without YT, without Internet -just a couple of terrestrial TV channels), I used to follow all documentaries for weeks in a hope to see some fighter jets. I am really grateful to discover this channel. Many thanks!

[@gtestastretta1]

I can relate!

[@zeroelus]

Phabulous Phantoms!! What a flight to see them, the F-16, the 2 Mirage 2000s and the Rafale. WOW!!! And the inflight footage, my word. Thank you for these videos!

During the War Aussies fought alongside the Greeks and we got to know each other very well. The Greek population went through horrendous reprisals for helping the Aussies. So the Greeks would ask a Digger do you think Australia would be a good place to go to? The reply was YES youd be welcome we give everyone a "fair go". So they all came to Australia. Melbourne had the most Greeks of any city apart from Athens. Such a strong bond to this day.

[@Ronin_Gaijin]

Apart from Athens and Thessaloniki. Greetings!

[@adamdottle7159]

North American T-2 Buckeye! Never expected to see that. Beautiful air2air photography overall. Thank you-

Wouldn't have thought, that you could take pictures from the Skyvan without the F4 stalling! Beside this, world class filming!

This was always one of the best aviation channels on KZbin, but these air-to-airs takes it to a whole new level. I'm impressed the fast jets managed to fly slow enough to keep formation with the Skyvan 😂
