Anotalian Eagle 2012-2 Konya "TRAIN AS U FIGHT" (Large post)

Post by migf4 » Tue Aug 21, 2012 5:44 pm

Hi gents,

here is a selection of my shots from Konya, when I was fortunate to be a whole week during Anatolian Eagle 2012-2 able to shoot on base. We had excellent photo-points and a big "Thank You" must go to everyone involved of the Turkish General Staff :thumbs: in Ankara, and in Konya/Izmir too. And all the crews and ground crews that worked hard to make this shooting happen....
Everyone did an extraordinary job to make this visit happen..... A story can be also seen in the current issue of AIR FORCES MONTHLY Sept. 2012, called "TRAIN AS U FIGHT" with more info about AE 2012-2 too.

It was once again a very enjoyable week in Konya, and even chilly evenings spent with all participants after two missions each day.
Luckily the weather was on our side again, and we had awesome conditions during the whole week and even the nights - off course

Ok enough for now, let tell the pictures the rest of the story...... hope you enjoy them once again, and comments & critiques are more as welcome :thumb:


Cheers
Mick

Gents,

Konya was indeed a great experience, with so many exotic and rare a/c and nations, plus at the other hand, the whole week blue skies and really friendly
Turkish Air Force people, who made so much possible.
For me as a "Phantom Phreak" Turkey was a dreamland :Wow:

Thanks for all your comments :clap: :thumb: and here are some more goodies :cool:
