Ladies & Gentlemen i would like to make an "intermission" from my vacation posts, as you may know Greek forests are under fire plus some residential areas, except the trees many people lost their homes-cars etc. The greatest help comes from "above", from the airpales and helicopters of Fire Service, their pilots fly them even 12-13 hours per day to save lives and belongings. Those fearless Greek pilots don't hesitate to execute low flights risking their own lives to save the others although the government has made huge cuts to their salary and allowances, each time they make a "suicidal look" dive inside a forest gorge full of smoke or passing extremely close to a mountain's top or a building you feel that your heart will break from the agony but seconds later those Greek heroes show-up like they just had return from Hades and again make a circle to fight the fire.
Since a kid i know what they are doing, i have seen them many times and i have the greatest of respect for them, here are some examples:
