PostHeaderIcon 339 Squadron - 60th Anniversary (1952-2012)

The 339 All Weather Squadron was formed on July 7 1952, at Elefsis airbase, as the 339 Fighter Bomber Squadron and equiped with F-84G aircraft. Sixty whole years later 339 Squadron "Aias" on 6th of July 2012 celebrated the first six decades of life, service and contribution to the Hellenic Air Force! A well organized ceremony took place in current home place of 339 Squadron in 117 Combat Wing at Andravida Air Base. We had the honor to be invited and experienced the delight of celebration together with old and new staff of the squadron.

There was a demonstration flight by 4 aircrafts organized which amazed all the visitors. Amongst them old squadron commanders, pilots and engineers of 339 Squadron which officially counts now more than 60 years of life.

Airforce.gr took the initiative to re-design and produce the initial heritage patch of 339 Squadron depicturing the mighty mouse. The patch was produced in a limited edition of only 100 pieces that comes together with a specially designed numbered certificate. The whole set of 100 patches were delivered directly to 339 Squadron which is responsible for their sale and administration so please contact with the Squadron if you want to get one before got sold out.

We highlight that all profits of the heritage patch will strictly go to 339 Squadron!!!
