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!

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.
