2015 - Anatolian Eagle Exercise, Konya/Turkey

Finally, I was able to visit this exercise for my first time! This is the Turkish equivalent to the Red Flag exercise in the US in state of the art facilities with a vast unrestricted airspace. Shark-mouthed F-4s, swarms of F-16s, a sprinkle of British Eurofighters, American F-15s and Pakistani F-16s, mass-starts by the dozens - stimulus satiation!

Additionally, the press officer did anything possible to provide the best photo-opportunities I have ever had. Thanks to every member of the Turkish airforce involved - your effort and enthusiasm is highly appreciated!
