- This is another one of those trips that I'll never forget. An unbelievable, unforgettable two days getting intimate with the Greek F-4 Phantoms of 338 Mira.
Normally in Greece, filming or photographing military aircraft is a very, very bad idea. At best such activity will cost you an unpleasant visit from military police, at worst it could land you in prison. However, we were invited on base at Andravida by 338 squadron, and it was a very special two days indeed.
Phancon '22 was organised by the F-4 Society and we joined a small group of F-4 enthusiasts with Rich Cooper and the Centre Of Aviation Photography (COAP). It was a very special trip with some excellent people and these very special aircraft.

Believe it or not, this plane is one of the most reliable that exists and with an impressive battle history.
Long live the Greek pilots who protect the Aegean.
Awesome! Even after about 70 years the F4 is still a bad-ass!
Those guys are flying a plane twice as old as themselves, very nice 👍🏻
Absolutely magnificent on these F-4E Phantom II 😎👍
F4 has always been my favorite most badass looking fighter.
After T33 T37 F84G F86F F84F RF84F F86D F104G F102A F5A RF5A MIRAGE F1 CORSAIR A7 please dont retire the best fighter ever the F4E PHANTOM. Thanks to heros flying these faboulous PHANTOMS at ANDRAVIDA.
It's such an awesome jet. I think Greece will be keeping them for another few more years. I've heard talk of retirement in 2025 😢
@@UKAviationMovies the f4E aup will be retired of duty when rafale F3R order finish for Greece Air Force 2025-26..
Appreciate the info Grigoris 👍👍
I was 8 in 1968 my uncle Jack flew the F4 in Vietnam, I was in awe of the photos of him in his flight suit next to his jet, he made it back and I was lucky enough to spend time with him after the war, we'd play catch but I'd never asked him about the war and he never talked about it, thank you to all who served and who serve today.🙏🇺🇸
Wow. Big thanks to your uncle Jack. So glad he made it back. I sat in one of these jets and I can not imagine actually going to fight in one of them. The pilots of these jets have my unreserved admiration and respect 🫡 👍💪
Have been to many air shows over the years seen the tornado the typhoon etc but the F4 Phantom will always be Number 1 for me 👌👌👌
The F4 and the F14 are so kick-ass.
Agree! Two of the best! 😎👍
Nicely done Ben. 🇬🇷✈️👍
Thanks Daf. It was such an awesome trip. I can't make it this year unfortunately, I hope they do another in '24! Hope you're well 👍
I never get tired of them ❤
phabulous Phantom, awesome filming!! Great Job👍👍👌👌.Greetings
Great video of an epic adventure 😛
It sure was a great trip, I won’t forget it in a hurry! Thanks for the watch! 😎
Excelent video, make as many as you can on F4 because they will not be there for long. HAF's F4 are probably the best F4 ever flown, a true multirole aircraft that can take many missions.
Thats great !!!... amazing planes !...( " Vietnam's souvenir " )... thanks , buddy !!!!!
I am praying they’ll bring one to RIAT this year 🤞🍀🇬🇷
look at all these PHabulous PHantoms pePHorming a perPHect PHlight. So Stunning!

Fantomas 👹🐦🔥👽🤣👍👄

ファントム使ってる国 イラン ギリシャしか居ないのかな
今は
I think only operators left are Greece, Turkey, South Korea and Iran :(
@@UKAviationMovies Japan has retired them reletively recently ( in 2021 ).
They need a good wash...
I noticed that too. I think it makes them look even more bada$$ 😎
I as a taxpayer do not like our planes being used or sold to other countries at all. They are also missing their most important part. Our flag
Interesting. Is that because you worry about the tech falling into the wrong hands? US military innovations generates a lot of revenue for the taxpayers pocket though? Our own RAF now operate F-35, C-17, T-6 Texan, RC-135, P-8 and used to operate F-4s, C-130s amongst many other types, including CH-47, AH-64s and so on.
Henry, I detect a little bit of racism in your comment.
