I've just got back from a holiday to Skiathos and just like last year happened to be on the first flight (this time I'd planned it especially) and once again recieved a water cannon salute to welcome the first charter flight of the year. I filmed the landing and subsequent shower and stuck it on my YT channel, video available below

Re: Skiathos Water Cannon Salute
Nice video Phil, doesn't Skiathos have a security fence around it? I can't see one on the backtrack after landing, or does it have a crocodile/alligator/piranha infested moat around it instead?

Re: Skiathos Water Cannon Salute
Thanks Mike,
There is a standard security fence along the perimeter however at the end of the runway it's replaced by coils of razor wire hidden in the long grass and a well hidden moat - well a trench full of weeds and quite possibly alligators Having eyed it up myself I reckon it would take a good 3-5 minutes to get onto the runway assuming there are no extra "features" hidden in the long grass...
There are that many spotters there that anyone trying anything cute would be dealt with quickly, that and the tower are always watching.
