Comment

These visits to Cyprus are becoming a regular fixture. Are these NATO or Greek flights ? Recent variations in Greek military callsigns appeared to hint at a distinction between Greek 'local' military flights and flights under the NATO flag. This would then be a Greek military flight and a potential source of increased tension.
