| 2143 / PA-143 (cn 2143) But for its relative rarity, this could be a throwaway shot. Taken six years and three cameras ago, this is HAF ship 143 making his turn for final upon arriving from Crete. I painted this aircraft in great detail for Microsoft Flight Simulator (for AFG), and seeing this one of a kind aircraft "in person" was a real treat! | |||

| 2136 / PA-136 (cn 2136) (View at 1152.) Its flying days long over, this classic YS-11 was spending its days slowly deteriorating in the bright Greek sunshine when I caught it in 2003. | |||

| 2153 (cn 2153) I always get a sense of nostalgia when I see a retired aircraft. I think about all the places it has been, the wonders it has seen, and the weather it has conquered. Nothing however, can save this YS-11 from the inevitable effects of time. September 9, 2003 | |||

| 2143 / PA-143 (cn 2143) The highlight of my visit to Elefsis was seeing ship 143 arriving from Crete and passing right overhead. I just love the sound of those Rolls Royce Darts! At the time, this was the last flying YS-11 in the Hellenic Air Force. I painted this aircraft for a Microsoft Flight Simulator add-on, and seeing this plane in real life will never be forgotten.

| 2137 (cn 2137) I actually painted this aircraft in much detail for a Microsoft Flight Simulator add-on aircraft, and this day I finally got to see the aircraft personally! Once SX-BBH with Olympic Airways, she now guards the gate at Elefsis Air Force Base in Athens. September 9, 2003 | |||
