Anatolian Eagle 2016 - Konya AB (pic heavy)

Recommended Posts

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...

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

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
