ARANYSAS Hungary also publishes about the
'Turkish Airforce competes with the age ! |
|
The support Hercules C-130 of The Turkish
Stars Team proud on the frontpage ! |
|
Read about the unique 'showteam leaders
configuration' and the 'Phabulous Phantoms Phofever' |
|
On with the show: page 4, starting
with a hughe one: The KC-135-R as You like it to see... |
|
... without any public, clean on
the platform |
|
Socata TB-20 and cessna TC-37 C,
both rarely seen |
|
C-160D Transall 69-034 static... |
|
... and rolling around to get
started |
|
T-37C (65-12-804) where you both can sit in front of the plane... |
|
... specially for training purposes
a good situation |
|
... and as stated before, Turkish
|
|
The cockpit is always a good situation to
impress your girlfriend, or just to make a nice picture for the homefront ! |
|
Cessna T-41D Mescalero is the next plane
in education after the 'Glider period'. Right: SF-260 D Siai Marchetti |
|
Have a future, but cherish your
past ! Looking over Izmir AFB this old Starfighter... |
|
... as well as these two F-5 'Freedom
Fighters' |
|
Statue of a famous airman in front
of the Izmir base |
|
Inside the base the temperature
rose, and often people found a place in the shadow for a moment |
|
Absolute highlights of amongst the
participants was the Pakistan Airforce !! What a sight to see them come in ! |
|
Pakistani F-16A from 11(OCU) Sqn. |
|
Pakistani JF-17 'Thunder' in a
spectacular take-off during the showdays ! |
|
The JF-17 is a
joint-Chinese-Pakistani project , it's a multi-role light weight fighter... |
|
...it's equipped with modern
electronics, and can be placed in the category of French Mirage fighters |
|
Have a good look, you won't see them
flying live that easily ! |
|
Here our Slovak friends (!) we flew this
type of Antonov-26 to make air-to-air pictures (elsewhere on this site) |
|
Nice to have a renewed welcome with
this crew and their base-commander here in Izmir ! |
|
Also participating (where don't they):
Belgian Airforce F-16 MLU Fighting Falcons |
|
..., and not to forget our own
Royal Netherlands Airforce contribution from Leeuwarden Airforce base |
|
Ok, ok, we can discuss who has the best
color-outfit, this black-blue Belgian F-16, or the Dutch black-orange one
:-) |
|
From the F-16 over to a newer generation:
The Typhoon, or Eurofighter from Italy. |
|
Shown here the EF2000 from 311 Gruppo RSV |
|
... and his older brither the AMX ACOL
from 13 Gruppo. |
|
Hey: 'Happy Catering !' Boy did we
appreciate you being here ! Water and more water was the key to survive this
heat |
|
Here it still was quit, later on the day
the hangar was filled up with hungry and thirsty people... |
|
Another Italian participant for the
transport tasks overhere at Izmir: C-27J |
|
The Spartan C-27J is developed by Alenia
Tactical Transport Systems, here to support the Frecce Tricolore |
|
rather rare and unexpected: A Danish
Hercules, probably it was hired within Nato partners |
|
... a few more pic's from the
landing-zone position... |
|
... ending up with this CASA CN235M-100
example that passed our lenses. |
|
i |
|
Despite of limited flying action we offer
you some helicopter images: |
|
Eurocopter AS532-AL Cougar... |
|
... and in a closer look... |
|
... the UH-1 'Huey' of 'iroquois',
work-horse of the TuAF, and in many other Airforces |
|
The Cougare and the Huey are mostly used
for transport and humanitairian flights, but can be armed as well... |
|
... the Coastguard bell-412EP once again... |
|
...a tip for any other coming event would
be to hoover the helicopters more in front of public... |
|
... specially frontal and near the crowds
is so much 'making nice pictures'... |
|
... detail of hardpoints on this S-70B
Blackhawk |
|
A 'newer generation' compared to the
AH-64 Apache is this AH-1-P Cobra |
|
... and these hardpoints show that the
cobra is not defenceless as well. |
|
Few details, the tower is hidden between
some trees, 'unaccessable' during the showdays, understandable ! |
