Arclite01, agree with you totally about the Greek air force. No idea how the recent economic issues have hurt their air force but it cannot have been good.
As for the Turkish air force they have always struck me as one of those that can generate a huge number of sorties with wave after wave of aircraft, that goes for the F-16s, F-4s and F-5s. It really amazes me. There is no European air force like that anymore. I think the French were like that until maybe 2004/2005 sort of time, now they are disintegrating to be like the other European air forces, they were the last of the big western European air forces.
Most air forces in Europe now have small fleets of aircraft and the vast majority of those are broken most of the time.
