It was selected for Foreign Military Sales to Greece and delivered via Rota (Spain) to 353 MNAS on 20 June 1996. The aircraft was earmarked for modification to P-3HN and was modified by Helenic Aerospace Industries at Tanagra and redelivered in a splendid grey colorscheme to 353 MNAS in 2019. In the background 153441 (with engines) 152747 (no engines) can be seen.
