Jinxman Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hi all, Konya Air base was the base location for the Anatolian Eagle 2016 exercise, which included participants from the Saudi, Italian, Pakistani, NATO/OTAN, Netherlands, and of course Turkish Air Forces. Weather was cold and cloudy to begin with, but brightened up for departures. A big thanks to the organisers for allowing access and the facilities for giving us enthusiasts the chance to see some of the hardware close up. Lots to see and here they are - hope you like 'em... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dot Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Lovely stuff. Were you standing next to me as i have a lot of similar shots? I'd be interested to know what shutter speeds you were using for the Il-72 and KE-3 as i got a lot of heat haze off the runway for them Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks guys, much appreciated. hi Andy - we were stood mostly at the ramp end of the crowd in the mornings, and then sort of middle in the afternoons, and a couple of times I was blagging other people's steps for some of the stuff. I think next time I would definitely take some steps as I think it helped get above some of the haze. The exif is saying 1/2000 for the Ilyushin, head on KE-3 is 1/1600, side view KE-3 is 1/160 (think I was trying to get some motion blur!). All at iso 100. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 All superb but I'm very jealous of the IL-76MF! Great photos Jinxman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
