Eskisehir - Phantom forever LL

[slogen51]

some crops from an exhilarating ( should be ExHILLarating!) afternoon on a Valley slope not too far from Eskisehir airbase - my first attempt at Low level and I can see the attraction!

Two TurAF F-4E 77-0303 special marks and 73-1052 performed multiple passes for the crowd on the hillside - both crews were fantastic and received a round of applause. Personally i had never seen anything like it - the pilots have balls of steel
