The Hellanic Air Force was founded in 1931 as the third branch of the Greek armed forces. The 337 "Ghost" squadron is based in Larissa and flies the F-16 Block 52+ variant. The HAF was the first air force in the world to add the Block 52+ to its inventory. This advanced F-16 type is an improved version of the Block 50 featuring a more powerful radar, Conformal Fuel Tanks for longer operational range, advanced communication systems, an upgraded engine, Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) and is capable of carrying more advanced weapons including the IRIS-T Air To Air missile.

Lockheed F-16D Fighting Falcon
Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since
Calibre Wings' F-16s include many detailed features that set them apart from models from other manufacturers:
Interchangeable lower fuselage sections with detailed extended landing gear or closed gear doors.
Interchangeable open/closed nose radomes with detailed radar dish
