Squadron Leader Dimitris Volakakis, the oldest of the "Zeus" group of F-16s, from Squadron 343 in Souda, of the 115th Battle Wing, sent a message of optimism from the ethers, as the aircraft passed through the Attic sky.
The leader of the first formation of four F-16s that flew over Syntagma during the parade said in his message, among other things: "The blue and white shield for every corner of our place". "Look up and hearts," he added.
