Шаблон:Infobox military unit The 348th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (Шаблон:Lang-el, Шаблон:Lang), callsign "Eyes" (Шаблон:Lang), was a specialized photo reconnaissance squadron in service with the Hellenic Air Force, forming part of the 110th Combat Wing.
History
The squadron traces its origins to a photo reconnaissance flight established at Elefsis Air Base on 26 November 1953, equipped with F-84G. The flight moved to the squadron's eventual home base at Larissa Air Base on 5 July.[1]
The flight was expanded to a full squadron in May 1955, and the F-84Gs began being replaced with specialized RT-33A reconnaissance aircraft. They. remained in service until 1957, being replaced from August 1956 on by the more capable RF-84F.[1]
The next major technological leap came in November 1978, with the arrival of the first of eight RF-4E aircraft. The squadron would operate a mix of RF-84F and RF-4E until 1991, when the former were withdrawn from service. They were replaced by 27 RF-4Es received from the German Air Force in 1993–1994. Twenty of these were taken into service, and the rest used for spare parts.[1]
The squadron was disbanded on 5 May 2017, and the last RF-4E aircraft withdrawn from service.[1][2]
