Operation Unified Protector (OUP) is an ongoing NATO operation concerning the 2011 Libyan civil war, implementing an arms embargo, a no-fly zone and using all means necessary, short of foreign occupation, to protect Libyan civilians and civilian populated areas. For that reason the Hellenic Air Force Air Base of Souda hosts plenty of aircrafts and personnel of French, Royal Norwegian and Qatar Emiri Air Force.

Several patches have been designed for OUP crews and most of them use the greek alphabet letters as you can see in the Album that has been created in our gallery. The code word Harmattan is used by French Air Force participation in OUP.

We especially thank Kentorama for the kind donation and precious help in order to present this set of OUP patches. To access the Album with patches please click on the image above or here.

Skymax models surprised us in a very positive way when announced the production of a rather rare and historical model presenting a Hellenic Air Force F-84G Thunderjet as used to fly with 337 Squadron “Fantasma” (Ghost). In October 1952 the 337 FB Sqn deployed from the Elefsis Air Base to the Larissa AB with F-84G aircraft in its inventory. What makes this model and especially 337 Squadron historical is the fact that at the beginning of the year 1953, the first acrobatic flight of the HAF was established and joined the 337 Fighter Bomber Squadron , a fact that projected the squadron in the inland as well as abroad. The establishment-training of the Acro Team had been accomplishe.

Under famous 1/72 scale inside a beautiful box together with display stand the model can be presented with wheels down or up. Mostly a die-cast metal model with very little plastic offers a rare issue for model collectors and Hellenic Air Force admirers. For more information please visit http://www.skymaxmodels.com
