Sunday 17/11/2024 on Eskisehir for 50th anniversary of the F-4 Phantom in service with the Turkish Air Force

The weather wasn't great but then it was mid November and you just get on with it and the Turkish Air Force put on a good event culminating with a 10 ship elephant walk.

I logged 15 different operational Turkish Phantoms and 8 CN235 so happy with that - didn't even see the storage area but that was always a slim hope

Hey, that's me on the right on the Scarecrow photo. My knees had completely gone by that stage and couldn't get involved in the various stampedes to get the best location. At least I got on the first bus at the end
