History

From the World War II until early 50's, Tanagra Air Base was used as a complementary airfield. After that period, and with NATO contribution, it was upgraded to a main air base of the Hellenic Air Force. From 1975 to 2003 Dassault Mirage F1CG were operated from Tanagra. From 2007 newly acquired Dassault Mirage 2000-5 are operated by the 331st All Weather Squadron.
