Squadron History & Legacy

The 337 "Ghost" Squadron was activated in 1983 at Andravida Air Base. Initially equipped with the F-4E Phantom II, the squadron earned its nickname "Ghosts" due to its exceptional night interception capabilities and low radar cross‑section tactics. Today, the squadron operates the F-16C/D Block 52+ Fighting Falcon, maintaining 24/7 Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) status for the Hellenic Air Force.

Motto
