THREE Turkish F-4 expected?:shock:
I thought the Florennes site mentioned 2 F-4's participating in TLP 2008-3.
Three is always better:D

This is quite normal.
The Turkish will bring in three F-4s to have always two Phantoms for the ecercise and one on standby.
More participating countries do this.

Anyone familiar with the Turkish squadron emblems?
Are these of 132 filo, as advertised?

[HenkS]

Yes, they are 132 Filo - same "winged dagger" badges as the 132 Filo F-16's that made a weekend stop at Lakenheath enroute to Red Flag Alaska July 7th/8th 2007:

88-0035, 89-0042, 91-0017, 92-0005, 92-0008, 92-0015
