Plot

Three aircraftmen have their military service in an aviation office camp, commanded by Group Captain Epaminondas Kakalos.

Other basic members of the cast are Hlapatsas, a nark aircraftman, Karavaneas, a naive sergeant and Boubou, the commander's secretary. The series is based on the funny situations between the staff of this aviation camp.
