Low-flying in Greece
Not much to say about my time in the Peloponnese mountains of Greece during Iniochos 2025. Below are my favourite images taken at two or three locations which have increased in popularity for both pilots and photographers, how long this situation will continue I don't know. Rumours this year suggested that this valley would be closed to low flying, rumours that were either false or the military had reversed their decision.
