Sadly, I know only too well that it is mil ATC. Volos is like a second base for me, we spend a lot of time there. As POTC and I said earlier, they tend to keep us very high on the profile, even when you call visual with the field/ground etc. it's not unusual to be approaching PIRAK at FL100. Macedonia control don't usually release us early enough to keep a constant descent going, but Volos TWR are obviously still paranoid due to the C130 incident you mention. Usually a late landing clearance even when you are the only aircraft in the sky also, just inefficient.
Still, it's great to see F4's and F16's duffing up the place!
