Michalis Costakos in the days of Attila in Cyprus, was one of the PA pilots who had returned from months of training in the PA's new aircraft: the F-4 Phantom. “My instructor had flown in Vietnam and shot down Migs. I felt invincible after training in the F-4. It was a superweapon for that time”…. On July 20, 1974, Michalis Costakos believed that the time had come to fight with the F-4. The PA had received 18 aircraft, the pilots were well trained. The Turks would not be able to face them. A mission to Cyprus seemed easy. At least for their then young and enthusiastic pilots. M. Kostakos had written on one of the 24 bombs of the F-4 that he would fly: "Fuck you". 48 hours passed without any order arriving. On July 22 they are finally ordered to take off. During the flight they are ordered to land in Heraklion... And there they waited in vain for the take-off order for a mission that, as Michalis Kostakos says in his interview with Militaire.gr, would change many facts... The veteran aviator talks about a lot. Not only for yesterday, but also for today. For the provocations of the Turks whom he treats with disdain for the "lies they make threatening helicopters". "Magic is not to threaten with wireless helicopters, but to chase fighters in the air and shout to him "I will tear you apart"... See the interview of M. Kostakos on @MilitaireNews and Paris Karvounopoulos, which took place on the 20 July 2017 Click Like 👍 on the video 📺 Subscribe ⏺️ to our channel by clicking here: / savvaskalenteridis Hit the bell 🔔 of notifications 📘 Visit www.infognomonpolitics.gr - The source of information - 🖥️Social Media Monitor: ▶️Google News: https://news.google.com/publications/... ▶️Facebook Infognomonpolitics.gr: / infognomonpolitics ▶️Facebook Savvas Kalenteridis: / savvaskalenteridis ▶️Twitter Savvas Kalenteridis: / kalenteridissav
