The Greek F-16 aerobatic team Zeus was founded in February 2010 as the successor to the former aerobatic teams of the Hellenic Air Force: Carrè Asse , Acro Team , Hellenic Flame , New Hellenic Flame and T-6A Demo Team .
On November 7, 2010, the first official demonstration of the F-16 Demo Team Zeus was carried out during the HAF's open day at Tanagra Air Base.
The Greek F-16 Demo Team Zeus has now performed at many airshows across Europe, for example at the Air14 Airshow 2014 in Payerne CH or in 2015 at the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford Air Base in Great Britain.
The current team consists of personnel from the 340th and 343rd Squadrons, both of whom are stationed at Souda Air Base. The team consists of two display pilots, two safety observers, a commentator, a cameraman and three crew chiefs. The team uses the F-16 (variant block 52+) configured with conformal fuel tank . The machines have a special color scheme, which reflects the national colors of Greece, the namesake Zeus and an eagle as a symbol of the state, team name and air force. The team callsign in the demo flights is " Zeus ", the father of the Olympian gods of ancient Greek mythology .
