The Italian contribution to 'Turkish
Airforce competes with the age' |
|
Ok, welcome back here in page two !
Starting with this Italian C-27-J Spartan... |
|
i...coming in and landing, transporting
equipment probably for the team 'Frecce Tricolore'. |
|
T-41-D
Cessna 'Mescalero' flying by, and the Ptt's steals the show. That's what it
is made for anyway. |
|
Many thanks for this nice gift... |
|
...a key-ring version of the 'Remove
before Flight' streamers. |
|
And yes, here they are suddenly, the
stunning sensational demo planes of the'fabulous 'Turkish Stars' !! |
|
Pictures can only give an image, you have
to see these guys fly their machines... |
|
....
and believe me, they fly better than you drive ! |
|
Thanks for now guys, we'll be back to you. |
|
And what have we here... ground to air
assault ?? 'Happy cameramen' |
|
Another surprise... no
this is not a Pilatus PC-9... |
|
...it concerns the KAI KT-1T Woong
Bee ... |
|
.... but Pilatus Switzerland visitors may
have had their own thoughts :-) |
|
Nice Radio, TV and Magazine Press-ladies
showed up in the scenery of Izmir AFB...'Happy Press' |
|
.... but you're right, let's stick to the
planes. Like this fine Northrop T-38A Talon from 121 Filo |
|
For the spectators a treat to see this
slim appearance twin-seater |
|
... The platform masters did a great job,
in placing these machines in front of such a beautiful environment... |
|
... compliments to you all ! |
|
But there were so many others who made
this celebration a succes, like these girls and boys...'Happy Staff'. |
|
... and all people who made sure all
these planes were in the right position... |
|
... such as this Agusta Bell 412EP Coast
Guard Helicopter |
|
'Happy Catering'! Staff of all kinds of
services, companies up to safety personell, it was all taken care of. Good
feeling ! |
|
Back to the planes, here the Algerian
Hercules once again, taxying along the runway... |
|
... and on the static show this Boeing
737- AEW&C |
|
AEW&C stands for Airborne Early
Warning & Control... |
|
This plane can handle a range of over
7000 kilometers... |
|
.... and we are airborne with this hughe
'Looking Glass' ! |
|
Sure it does take some fuel occasional,
so let's not forget about the ground crews around these peace-keepers. |
|
... The McDonnell Douglas F-4E 2020 from
111 Filo... |
|
...fully operational here ... |
|
... and it will remain a 'Phantastic
Phantom Phorever' as you can see here. 'Happy crew'! |
|
...the machine is a two-seat twin engined
all weather long range supersonic jet interceptor / fighter / bomber... |
|
... no wonder this older concept is still
in use ! |
|
... Once this machine was the successor
of the F-86 Sabre... |
|
... it's nickname is also the 'Mig-Killer'
because during the Vietnam war it busted many Mig-17 and also Mig 21's |
|
Turkish Airforce showed a fly-past with
several types of the inventory, here these 'Phabulous Phantoms' |
|
As fas as we know this type of aircraft
is still in use in Egypt, Iran, South-Korea, some in Germany, |
|
... and ofcourse in Turkey and Greece. |
|
Well, back to us for a moment, as you can
see Press was treated heavenly, seats, tables, laptops inside... |
|
... al ingredients to make these days
actually unforgettable. Flypast of three T-37 Cessna 'Tweet's |
|
The Croatian show-team is starting up....
|
|
.... and the F-16's fly their part of the
once held (only saturday's) fly-past of all inventory. |
|

brother' the F-16D 07-1015 |
