Shortly before the end of 2021, Katerina Kalligiannaki and Nikos Makrakis, air athletes and champions of Greece in 2020-2021, boarded a single-engine aircraft and formed in the sky of Crete in 2022.

According to cretalive.gr, this project was done for the first time with a single-engine, ultralight aircraft and even without an autopilot. The plane was tracked at 3,500 feet from the ground, in the area of Heraklion.
