Special colours for both the squadron's tiger tradition (even its callsign is Tiger) and its 80th anniversary. Being the oldest squadron in the Hellenic Air Force, it was established at Akir in Palestine in October 1941, shortly after Greece had been occopied by Germany. Araxos has been its homebase since 1977.

The Tiger Tails fly-by on the last day of this show, by participants of the "Ext-ROAR-dinary NATO Tigermeet" at Kleine Brogel, where all fixed-wing display aircraft operated from. They were F-16s FA-136, 029, 4056 and FB-23, Rafales 132, 324 and 44, JAS39 36 and EF2000 7L-WK. Just over half actually wore some sort of tiger markings but that didn't matter!

The 335 Mira, commanded by the 116 PM, is the Greek Tiger squadron. The Tigris (Tigers) are based at Araxos air base and are operating these F-16D Block 52 Fighting Falcons. This 029 is furnished with Tiger markings on it conformal fuel tanks as well as commemorative 1941-2021 squadron marks on its fuel tank.

This block 52 F-16D - equipped with conformal fuel tanks on top of the wings - is one of a total of 170 "Fighting Falcons" so far delivered to the Hellenic AF under the US Foreign Military Sales Program. 029 carried US FY 06-2118 and was one of ten dual seaters (serialled 021 through 030) of the FMS "Peace Xenia IV" deal, which also included 20 F-16C's. Delivered to 335 Squadron "Tigris / Tigers" based at Araxos in February 2010.
