We also upgraded their avionics and optics relatively recently, in 2000s. However, they'll be retired soon. Especially now that we've got Rafale and wait for our F35s as well. We can't have 5 types of aircrafts. It's little Greece we're talking about. Our F16s will remain the main workhorse. Greece was the first country to upgrade them in their latest version, block 70/72 with AESA radars, internally, which effectively makes them Gen 4,5. Every F16 flying anywhere in the world, the 30% is made in Greece. Additionally, our F35s will include the first major upgrade in 2028 when they'll start arriving due to high demand. Our Rafale are in version F3R, it's the latest. Only the version F4 currently the French are testing. We might upgrade them or skip this one and wait for the version Rafale F5 or however they decide to name the next upgrade. Furthermore, we have the upgraded Mirage 2000-5 Mk2 and along with the 3+1 "Belharra" Frigates we bought from France and most probably 3+1 "GoWind" French Corvettes, their interoperability will be unmatched. Our French weapons are considered our wildcards since France doesn't sell to the Turks anything. The Greek Army is essentially half European, half American. I mentioned French Frigates and Corvettes, but our new Submarines are German. Our Apache and Kiowa Helicopters, our ATACMS, Patriot Batteries etc are American-made and many more.

Yeah Buddy - Phantom was my dream, Chief Designer in '54, when only 4. I was stuck w/tiny office next to meeting room @White House, for Top Secret review of everything Ruskie vs U.S. Plane Contractor's stuff, but Ike had snooped at my drawings, actually carryin' my stuff in for me. Ike didn't like Ruskie's designs, and our's he labeled WW2 Fuselages w/a jet engine or two slung under wings or awkardly stuffed on-board, making all designs look like what came out of South end of a Northbound Horse! I guess that meant he didn't like 'em! It was his home & all, but stepped in my mini-office, grabbed my Phantom's drawings, said, "I'll be bach", way before 'Arnold' thought of usin' that phrase. Ike challenged group, "To point out any Ruskie design superior to "his" Phantom plans, drawings, and Vicious Front View of a real Fighter/Bomber that was gonna eat 'em for lunch, after losin' their dog's fight...or if your company can otherwise best it, tell me how & why! Dad surprised when Ike dbl green-lighted, (BUILD IT) his newest invention, "The Phantom"!! When we hit the house, & "Miss Congeniality", done chewin' Dad out for being over hour late, he told her, "Honey, I've rented out that little spare bedroom, for $20 bucks a month, & our Son doesn't have to sleep in his hallway, anymore either! Oh, and Honey next trip to see Ole Ike, could you please send five dozen peanut butter cookies with me? Mom actually smiled sayin', "Like Son....Like Father, I guess, let me know and I'll have 'em ready!!" She never caught on, Dad's Old War Buddy was actually POTUS!! Child Labor Laws said, "No Hire", but I received an approved "Stipend" every month, better than twice what Dad earned, and when JFK took over in '61, I got a 50% raise, as still only 11! Then some ahole shot 'em, but The Phantom flew on!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

I last saw an operating F-4 Phantom when one landed aboard CVN-65 in '82!

Ha, saw the Phantoms flying daily out of Andravida over the last few weeks. The one that constantly smokes is instantly recognisable. Man they are loud. Saw the Mirage 2000 over Elaphonisos as well.

I hated the Phantom when I had to work on the pig, but I have a certain nostalgia for it now.

Too bad the Super Crusader wasn't chosen. It made the F4 seem like a Piper Cub by comparison.

Το ονειρο μου από παιδί ήταν να πιλοταρω πολεμικό αεροπλάνο, τελικά έγινα πιλότος αλλά ελικοπτέρων, πολλές φορές στην Ανδραβίδα κάναμε ασκήσεις (ΣΟΤ) , μας κυνηγούσαν να μας λοκαρουν τα φάντομ, εκεί φέρνεις στα όρια το ελικόπτερο κυρίως Γνώρισα πολύ καλά παιδιά και αξιόλογους χειριστές φάντομ Εύχομαι σε όλους τους εν ενεργεία χειριστές: καλές πτήσεις - καλές προσγειώσεις ΝΑ ΠΡΟΣΈΧΕΤΕ ΜΆΓΚΕΣ Ο καλύτερος χειριστής είναι αυτός που γυρίζει σώος σπίτι του 👍🇬🇷

@@ElwynR να είστε καλά, πολύ ωραίο βίντεο, συγχαρητήρια Για την ενημέρωση, πολύ δύσκολος στόχος το ελικόπτερο για ένα μαχητικό αεροπλάνο (μου το είχαν πει χειριστές ακόμα κ f-16) Ένα δεξί ή αριστερό break 180 μοίρες για το ελικόπτερο γίνεται σε ελάχιστα δευτερόλεπτα, μέχρι να κάνει το ίδιο ένα αεροπλάνο θα χρειαστεί αρκετά μέτρα και χρόνο

3:48...😮 Wtf.. I can see the radar of F16..... Amazing photo...Respect for the skills of the pilot. I was watching the video and l had the feeling that the pilots and their planes were posing for the photos. Excellent skills both, the photographer and the pilots. 👏
