Airshow Turkey 100 2011

The Turkish Air Force staged a magnificent event to celebrate their 100th anniversary with no fewer than 8 national aerobatic teams; one of the best airshows in recent times.

A huge international participation included the new Chinese/Pakistani JF-17 Thunder, Eurofighter and F-16 displays from Belgium, Pakistan and The Netherlands.

Every current type took part in an Inventory Flypast and the home crowd delighted in extraordinary aerobatics by Ali Ozturk in his Pitts Special, precision formations by The Turkish Stars and the speed and power of Solo Turk – a new display with the F-16 fighting Falcon, all with on-board cameras.
