ANNOUNCEMENT

AOPA Hellas regrets to announce that is not participating in the Aviation Expo which is due to take place at Kopaida Airfield, on Sept 18-20. This Expo is organized among others, by a company named Hellas Fest.
AOPA Hellas has worked with Hellas Fest in the past, organizing last year's international Expo "ICARUS 2008".  This cooperation ended up in a dispute, which is now to be decided in front of the court.
