Some of the participants were redeployed on Istrana air base. A spotter day was scheduled for 13th December (which, unfortunately, was also the only rainy day of the exercise).
The most rare participants were Turkish Air Force F-4E Phantom II updated to Terminator 2020 standard from 111. Filo "Panterler", the last operational Turkish unit flying the mighty "Rhino".
An old, noisy, dirty and obsolete airplane, but it also has some flaws

Many thanks to the 51° Stormo for having organized the spotter day!
For my last sortie of the year, I'd like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and and Happy New Year!
