ANOTHER
VERY FINE PUBLISHED TuAF-100 ARTICLE: TOPGUN AVIATION MAGAZINE - ROMANIAi
|
|
A
fine overview of semonstration teams, and fly-past of teams and Turkish
Airforce |
100
Years of Turkish Airforce Party
|
|
|
|
A special
treat for those who were spotting was the appearance of a Pakistani Ilyushin
IL-78 Tanker |
|
The
Pakistan Airforce flew their fighters first to Saudi Arabia and secondly to
Jordan before heading to Izmir. |
|
Pakistan itself watched the organizing activities closely and hopes in
future to play for such an event host itself |
|
Two Dutch
F-16 pilots watch the show just like that, next and a lot of camera-types
are used up to very professional |
|
The
Pakistani JF-17 use modern avionics from Western companies... |
|
...and has
a Russian made Klimov RD-93 engine, which is an upgraded RD-33 engine used
in the Mig-29 |
|
|
|
Between these facts and figures, the many children were interested sometimes
more in all kind of playing tools... |
|
|
|
... they could play to their hearts content, while parents knew their kids
were safe and locatable ! |
|
Still in
use in a handful airforces is the NF-5, an appreaciated trainer, eventhough
it takes skills for landing it. |
|
Amongst many other teams the USAF came along with their F-16 Thunderbirds,
we will enjoy them in a moment... |
|
... while other countries represented with a solo-plane like this Bulgarian
PC-9M (And a Mig-29 by the way) |
|
Antonov 32-B from Croatia... taxying to the head or the runway
|
|
...the support plane of the Croatian 'Wings of Storm' is taking off... |
|
... and there she goes, the crowd's camera's click frequently |
|
Pakistani F-16 passes by... |
|
... we show it once more, because when do we see it ever again in such a
setting... |
|
|
|
If
there were any doubts in TuAF if they could organise such a hughe show: It
succeeded as you can see !! |
|
w
|
|
Soloturk F-16 and Croatian PC-9M prepare for showtime... |
|
... What must have bee a surprise for the Turkish spectators: An English
Tornado GR4 ! |
|
Impressing, classic but still capable |
|
|
|
On
most EU airshows types as the Tornado and Gripen are regular visitors... |
|
You'll see more if you follow our pages , of this Solo-Turk demonstrator |
|
Italian Hercules supports the MB339-AM team 'Frecce Tricolore |
|
Croatian PC-9 |
|
w |
|
Let's spend some time on the demonstration-teams ! |
|
|
|
Croatian 'Winds of Storm' perform... |
|
... Italian pilot explains about matters, flightplans, facts & figures... |
|
... and here they are: FRECCE TRICOLORE !! |
|
What a team to see it perform... |
|
... specially when they use exhaust smoke intheir national colors ! |
|
The Red Arrows from the UK displayed... |
|
|
|
There's always a spare plane standing by in case any of the display planes
might have a minor failure... |
|
... and these gusy also know about flying ! |
|
|
|
The Croatian propeller-driven team showing out... |
|
|
|
... and here they are ladies and gentlemen, the fabulous USAF THUNDERBIRDS ! |
|
'Thunderbirds are go !!' - Sit back and enjoy... |
|
... and enjoy... |
|
... and enjoy... |
|
... and enjoy the extreme speeds and various figures...
|
|
... talking about concentration...... |
|
... finally the Bomb-Burst... |
|
... they return on a heat-waved runway safe. |
|
As
it comes to me, I'd rather prefer a flight in a simulator in a training
centre... much safer landing ! |
|
Standing on head of the runway you see a silhouet, it's a Hercules...
|
|
... another C-130 silhouet shows up..., and it appears to be a Pakistani
Hercules. |
|
... and another one, how lucky can you be when you're a spotter ! |
|
Base
Commander Taşçi of Çiğli said; We want to inform the people about Turkish
Air Force.... |
|
which
this Türkiye-2011 event is a very good occasion for it. |
|
It
was estimated well by press and public for showing up so massive. |
|
Cessna Mescalero and Tweet in another setting |
|
Sometimes as photographer you have to have patience, another day, or just
luck to get the right images |
|
|
|
Aviation is
improving in popularity, besides military aviation also civil aviation is
firmly developing in Turkey. |
|
Turkey will
find a way near future create more abilities in aviation festivities. |
|
|
|
Same types again ?? Yes, but let me explain, that the so called spotters
collect as much as numbers as they can find... |
|
|
|
... and there are even those who defenitely ´need´ to have the construction
numbers of each plane ! |
|
Well let me stick to making pictures, fair enough... |
|
To
host all these planes, Izmir AFB had to remove many own planes to other
bases nearby. |
|
Antonov 26 from Serbia, (we are repeating) but
these kinds you don't meet so often on EU airshows
|
|
So just enjoy the opportunity ! |
