Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Cool pics mister! glass or no glass, you really can't see. By the way, the Olympic 737, looks like a repair job? or just a new livery?

Thanks...

My guess would be that it's stored, like many of his/her brothers/sisters...
I think I saw BKA,B,D but wasn't really able to spot many more. A whole parallel-taxiway is full of stored (Olympic)aircraft, 737's and ATR's. Maybe I can read some serials off my other pics..

These are all aircraft belonging to the former Olympic Airways airline (I think it went bust). The new airline is called Olympic Air and is flying with new aircraft. Mainly Airbus.

Indeed; the two other Fokker 50'sof Hellas Jet are semi-stored again at Maastricht.

The Olympic 737-fleet is partly stored indeed, some frames changed owners and most are up for scrap (only the A340's made it out quite fast, rest remained in ATH on the secondairy track) and the new Olympic flies the A319/320 and DHC8.

And the Rusjet might have been in town for further progress on the intended Be200firefighters deal :wink:

Sweet report 8)
Groeten,
Ron
