A Hellenic Air Force McDonnell Douglas F-4E AUP Phantom II ('01618') taking off from its homebase Andravida to participate in the morning mission of exercise Iniochos back in 2019.
The Phantom entered service with the HAF in 1974 under the arms programme “Peace Icarus”. Although it is a second-generation aircraft, 36 Hellenic Phantoms have been upgraded with advanced electronics (programme “Peace Icarus 2000”), extending their operational life. They are based in Andravida air base (117 Combat Wing), and operate for the 338 and 339 Squadrons with call signs “Aris” and “Aias” respectively.
