• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

yeah thats one of the main 'play-areas' of the Ellhnikh Polemikh Aeroporia... and that mars would be perfect for a seaplane service between say... Rodos and Crete, or Rodos and Athens, put her down and taxi into Piraeus or some such... and call me 'press-ganged' on that one...

Amouliani... nice little island ... so you're overlooking both the island and Agion Oros bay (Used to have a nice farm strip/float port for my personal FS there), thats a nice area!

:salute:Znto Smoothie! Play area 'den les tipota!' During summer months the special guests are Canadair cl215's in pairs, twice a week when doing switchovers with Kavala... or sometimes, as I gather from their leisurely activity for the pure hell of it. Those Pratt & Whitney's never fail in stopping me in my tracks, god bless 'em!
D'ya reckon we could fit Ouranoupolis on the Mars route? Sure be a sight for sore eyes seeing that bird skimming between Amouliani and the mainland on finals. Bet even the Canadair jockeys would appreciate the event.:jump:
I don't suppose by any chance you're on speaking terms with Jens are you?:kilroy:
 
Ouranoupolis... thats'd be a fun one to visit with a mars. Wish i was, gotta dig out his e-mail and see what he's up to if he'll tell me :icon_lol: you're making me want to rebuild my floatplane dock in that bay again, i thought i'd escaped it for a nice sheltered bay on Rhodes where it hits 50*C on a breezeless day and direct sunlight... but i may just have to remake my docks and infrastructure... Mars sized, just in case right ;)

:salute:Monday-Friday; Rhodes to Ouranoupolis once daily it is then! Wednesday and weekends via Piraeus.
:running:Better get to work on those docks and infrastructure pretty soon Smoothie, got a hunch Jens could be listening. (ya know, 'mystiko ereuna agoras' and that kind of thing) Also, rumour has it that those Dodo's down at Cowes and Gosport have similar ambitions, but we both know that weatherwise it's a no-go; Hellas is the only place for ice-cold Frappe and all things 'anaeria'. This could be the real lure for Jens to initiate the Mars. Perhaps he just had misgivings about where people would actually be flying this magnificent aircraft.
Jens!... Smoothie, Tom Clayton, Milton Shupe, many others (and your's truly) offer you the freedom of the Med. YES! WE WANTS OUR MARS!:icon_lol:
