A good while back there were some threads about the Peace Icarus 2000 upgrade of the Hellenic Air Force’s F-4E fleet, and someone informed me that the aircraft was no longer capable of firing the AIM-7 Sparrow. I always was somewhat suspicious of that claim, and I’d say this photo seems to suggest otherwise. I want to say this is a PI 2000 jet, but maybe I’m wrong….
The only thing I can’t seem to find is the AIFF (ala F-16 ADF) on the nose…..but I thought those were added later so perhaps this jet is a pre-AIFF upgrade?)
(Unless this is a jet that hasn’t bee upgraded, but it appears to be a PI 2000 jet to me…..can anyone possibly correct me if I’m wrong?)

(My apologies to the person who took this photo…I didn’t mean to “steal” your work….just trying to clear something up.)
