Aside from the pc-9's I saw what looked like Buckeyes lined up on the military ramp, is that right? Also some other aircraft I didn't recognise, looking similar to the raf's old jet provost, any Greek air force buffs know what they might have been?

I'm from Greece so i maybe i can help you.

Kalamata is indeed the basic flight training base for the local air force. Currently they use the T-6 Texan II turboprop (which i think is very similar to the Pilatus) replacing the older Cessnas (they had both a C-152 variant or something similar and T-37s in the past). The Buckeyes were supposed to also be replaced but the program has been delayed. They've got loads of retired F-5s they could use as lead-in trainers if they wanted to bring them back to active status and do it cheap, the other option is to shop for new airframes among the Aermachi trainers, Bae Hawks or the Korean T-50.

Out of interest, are you visiting on vacation or is it work related? Please don't tell me there's some kind of airshow going on around Athens, i'm situated on the other end of the country up north and it's quite expensive to make the trip south :-P

Well, the update wasn't more than a sentence.

Aaahh....of course, not pilatus but Texan 2's, so they were buckeyes, but no idea what the other things I described were? I guess they did look a bit like t-37's

I am here for work ,or was, I am in Firenze now, I fly private jets for charter, we often end up in military bases.

Thanks
