King Konya - Anatolian Eagle 2019

[zigzag]

Some images from an excellent couple of days hosted by the wonderfully accommodating Turkish Airforce at exercise Anatolian Eagle 2019 at Konya. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and despite some brutal heat playing havoc with heat haze issues it was a great event, with Phantoms & Thunders whats not to like.

Hi Andy,
I must say what a stunning post this is.
Love the shots of the PAC JF-17 Thunder, a very versatile aircraft with the ability to deploy diverse ordnance.
Pakistan have claimed in the past that its JF-17s shot down two Indian aircraft: a Mig-21 and a Su-30MKI, operating in Pakistan's airspace over the disputed region of Kashmir.
Block III upgrades would appear to give the aircraft even further capabilities, not bad for a planned unit cost of 32 million.

Too many great shots to pick a firm favorite.

All the best
Andy

All excellent images - top quality - love the modified Transall

[MR TERRY GREEN]

Lovely picture,sorry biased towards the f-4s love them.

[Charlie Golf]

Cracking shots Andy, thank you very much.

I wonder why the Terminators still use the outdated Pave Spike as their TGP pod...

[reheat module]

Stunning work.
Hard to pick a fav, but the timing, focus and composition of No3 sings out loud!

Great selection of aircraft thanks for posting.
