Yesterday, the aviation community lost two of its own.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Squadron Leader Ioannis Blesias, 40, and Flight Lieutenant Dimitrios Petrou, 37, who lost their lives when their Hellenic Air Force F-4E Phantom II crashed during its display at Athens Flying Week at Tanagra Air Base.

For us at AERO LENS, this tragedy hits particularly close to home. Through our many visits to Andravida over the years, we had the privilege of knowing the crew personally. Seeing familiar faces become part of such devastating news is difficult to put into words.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and friends of Ioannis and Dimitrios, their fellow airmen, and everyone at 338 Squadron and the Hellenic Air Force.

We will remember them not only as highly skilled aviators flying one of the most iconic aircraft in military aviation, but as the people we had the privilege to meet.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Ioannis and Dimitrios.
You will not be forgotten.

Two Austrian Air Force Leonardo AW169B helicopters flying in close formation during the Hochgebirgslehrgang (HGL) 2026 at Airbase Aigen.

Introduced as Austria’s new-generation light utility helicopter, the AW169B is rapidly becoming a familiar sight in Alpine operations. Whether supporting mountain rescue, troop transport or training in demanding terrain, the type combines modern capability with impressive agility—perfectly demonstrated during this year’s High Mountain Training Course.

The Hungarian Gripen fleet may be relatively small, but it consistently delivers a strong presence at international exercises and airshows. Sporting the iconic artwork on the tail, this JAS 39C showcased the agility and sleek design that have made the Gripen one of Europe’s most capable multirole fighters.

German Air Force Panavia Tornado ECR 46+25 arriving at RAF Fairford ahead of RIAT 2022.

Even after more than four decades in service, the Tornado remains one of Europe’s most recognizable combat aircraft. With its distinctive variable-sweep wings and dedicated electronic combat role, the ECR variant continues to play an important part in NATO operations while its days in Luftwaffe service slowly draw to a close.

Italian Army A129 Mangusta showing its agility during an impressive display at RIAT 2023.

A compact attack helicopter, but definitely not short on presence when thrown around in front of the crowd at RAF Fairford.

USAF C-130J-30 Hercules from the 37th Airlift Squadron seen at Nuremberg Airport back in 2020.

A familiar Ramstein-based workhorse, but always a welcome sight when it shows up away from home base.
