We have received good news! For the first time since 2016, the Turkish Air Force is once again organising spotters days for the beautiful Anatolian Eagle exercise at Konya airbase. And of course we are there.

Participants are (status at the end of May 2019):
Italy – 3 x AMX
Jordan – 3 x F-16
NATO – 1 x E-3
Pakistan6 x JF17
Qatar – 1 x C-17, 1 x C-130
Turkey – C-130, KC-135, E-7, F-4, F-16, CN235 and AS532 (many aircraft)
United States – 6 x F-15E

The spotter days will take place on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 June 2019. As the tour is only in a few weeks, we will offer this trip only on a “Land-Only” basis. That means you have to buy your own ticket. But of course, we can offer support with that.

@Oscar the Italian-Brazilian AMX came at the wrong time. Had it come in the early 1980s, the PAF might have considered it instead of the A-7 and Chinese A-5. And had it come in the 2000s, it would have been an option for sprucing up the COIN/CT attack capability (and later endure as an anti-armour CAS asset like the Jaguar).

But the PAF people who did get a chance to see it (e.g., while training, exercises, etc) say it's near-perfect. It just somehow missed the two periods when the PAF needed such an aircraft.
