3rd Athens Flying Week

Seven years ago, Athens Flying Week was born. 

Here are some pictures I took during the 3rd AFW:

 At the same place, there is the home of Hellenic Air Force Museum. You can find some really beautiful images to capture over there.

   Any Air Show around the world is a unique experience and a great way to take some pictures you will remember; especially if the weather is rainy, as it was on that day back in 2014. See you all there on 22 & 23 September 2018!
