The 336th Bomber Squadron of the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) in Greece retired its Vought A-7 Corsair Us at the end of October after 39 years' service. In 2007, the 336th became the only unit in the world still operating the distinctive jets, the first of which flew in 1965. To mark the type's withdrawal, a ceremony was held on October 17 at Araxos Air Force Base, home of the 336th. An A-7E was unveiled in a special paint scheme, commemorating all the Hellenic Air Force squadrons that operated the type.
