For the second consecutive year, the ultra-modern F-35 fighter jets will be on display at the Athens Flying Week - Tanagra International Airshow in Tanagra, Greece. The event will take place on the weekend of September 14 and 15 at the 114th Battle Wing.
Following the successful debut of the US F-35s at last year's air show, where Captain Christin "Beo" Wolf showcased the fighter's impressive aerial capabilities, the 5th generation aircraft are returning to Tanagra, this time coming from neighboring Italy.
Visitors who attend the event will have the opportunity to see the F-35 up close and take photos with the advanced fighter jet. The F-35 is the most modern fighter aircraft, featuring "stealth" technology that makes it almost invisible to enemy radar. Additionally, the jet's sophisticated sensors and radars provide the pilot with comprehensive situational awareness of the operational environment.
In a significant development, Greece has officially joined the F-35 program and is expected to receive the first of a total of 20 5th generation fighters by the end of the decade. These aircraft will be based at the 117th Battle Wing in Andravida.
The Athens Flying Week - Tanagra International Airshow promises to be an exciting event, offering the Greek public a rare opportunity to experience the cutting-edge capabilities of the F-35 fighter jets.
