Hello everybody,

Sorry to keep you waiting for a while, but please understand that it's the first time we'll have real spotterdays in Turkiye and we do our very best to create some fantastic arrangements for all our guests.

We have taken all ideas & suggestions send to us in account and for sure you will be very happy with the result.

In this post I am pleased to give you a first update on participants;

Turkish Airforce:

As mentioned before all types of the large inventory will be present at Izmir. There will be a lot of T-37 & T-38 action as well, as I understood this was high on the wishlist of many spotters. You will see some of the brand new aircraft such as the KT-1 and Boeing Wedgetail.

Thunderbirds

Poland:
Orlik Team ( 9 x PZL-130 )

Croatia:
Wings of Storm ( 6 x PC-9 )

United Kingdom:

For all the aviation enthousiats who will travel to Izmir for the airshow and hope to see some new airshowacts, we are very pleased to provide you some more information of the very first Turkish Airforce F-16 solo display.

In the 2011 season the F-16 will be flown by Major Murat Keles. Much appreciated advice and preparation for the displayteam was given by the Royal Netherlands Airforce.....so you will see a very dynamic presentation of the F-16, smokewinders & flares inclusive!!

The display aircraft will not be an aircraft in operational colours, but a FULLY special painted F-16! It's not gonna be just red & white as many of you might have guessed, but the basic colour is pitch black with a large golden moon & star of the Turkish flag underneath the fuselage. A very stylish design is applied on top of the F-16 with a brilliant golden eagle on each side of the tail.
The roll out of the display F-16 is planned for early april and of course we will post some pictures of this event right here!

Greetz, Eric
