The Hellenic Air Force Museum, located at Dekelia Air Base (ICAO: LGTT), at the north of Athens, features some unique aircraft, ranging from WW2 to today.
The Air Base started operating in 1918 and features a single runway with a length of 1764 metres.
The airport is currently used by the Hellenic Air Force and is also home to civilian Air Clubs.
Many rare warbirds are exhibited at the HAF Museum, including WW2 salvaged aircraft, such as a Ju87 “Stuka”, a Ju52 “Tante Ju”, a Bristol Blenheim and parts of an Arado Ar-196.
Post-WW2 aircraft account for the vast majority of the exhibits, with some of them being unique worldwide, having seen active service with the Hellenic Air Force, over the past decades.
