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

You need two things... great subjects and the skill to capture them. This post illustrates both !

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
Thanks for all your comments and here are some more goodies

Oh my word! I cannot choose a favourite! Stunning photos, the pick of the bunch for me has to be the Phantom!
Re: Anotalian Eagle 2012-2 Konya "TRAIN AS U FIGHT" (Large p

Not a bad selection I suppose
What a line up - wow, all fantastic, but particular mention for how good the Turkish Cougars, Saudi Tonkas and those Mirages look
Special Phantom is not shabby either

I've just discovered this thread a bit late - stunning images Mick, it appears you've perfected the art of time travel . Now if Heineken did air base visits for photographers, I'd expect this might be the result......
Thanks for sharing these beautiful images,
Phil
