Apart from the above (Thank you Frank), the Polish Tiger F-16 Demo will take place and there is also the possibility of the other Polish MiG-29. From HAF, the demo teams (F-16 and T-6) will be present. There is also a great interest from 114 Sq (Mirage 2000s) and 117 Sq (Phantoms), but other Squadrons have shown interest as well. There will be a meeting with the HAF during the first days of September, so there will be update then.

I have a question about the spotter tickets. I have ordered the package for 150 euro. On the e-ticket there is only the date 18/09/2016 on it. Should I be worried? Second question: Is there a way to go to the Airbase at Friday with public transport?

George, Will you be offering the spotters package at Tanagra again in 2017? If there's plenty of Hellenic aircraft on show, AFW might have to be my international show for the year... :heyhey:
