The Dornier Do-28 d2 of 355 Squadron celebrate 25 years of “Accident Free” duty in the Hellenic Air Force. For that reason a special patch was designed and manufactured as a limited edition.

Dornier Do-28 is another loyal servant of the Hellenic Air Force which has locked many thousand flight hours. The aircraft was designed in the mid-1960s as a light and cheap personnel and cargo transport. Has crew of two, Engine: 2 Lycoming IGSO-540-A1E, Wing Span: 15.55 m, Length: 11.40 m, Maximum Speed: 295 km/hour and Service Ceiling: 23,000 ft.

From the common exercise BRAVE HEART SOUTH 2008 between 330, 341, 347 Squadrons of the Hellenic Air Force in 111 CW and Mig-29 Fulcrums of Bulgarian Air Force from GRAF IGNATIEVO Air Base.

The Red Flag exercises, held periodically at the Nellis Air Force Base since 1975, are very realistic aerial war games. The purpose is to give pilots from the U.S., NATO and other allied countries an opportunity to practice and refine their skills for real combat situations. This includes the use of “enemy” hardware and live ammunition for bombing exercises within the Nellis complex. The exercises with flares and all kinds of aircraft can make a spectacular show, especially at night. There are usually two or three sorties per day (except on weekends): One or two sorties during daytime and one in the evening or at night. The night exercises usually inlude only one half of the daytime forces.

There are two teams, the good guys (Blue Team) and the aggressors (Red Team). The Red Team is composed of Nellis AFB-based pilots specially trained for this purpose, flying F-15 and F-16 aircraft. The Blue Team is composed of the various guest “players” in their native aircraft.
