Hi Bobby, good listing but you've missed off one of 2011's highlights!!!

The Turkish airforce is 100 years old next year, and they are holding an international airshow at the 2nd Main Jet Base, Cigli which is close to Izmir. this is the 4th and 5th June. This could be pretty special as the Turks really do not like their aircraft being photographed!!!

Already down to attend are the USAF Thunderbirds display team......their only appearance in the UK will be at Waddo!

In case Mr Airbus is looking, EZY fly to Izmir from Gatwick, only odd days in the week!!!!!

John :-) :-)

Hi Bobby, Cambrai should be a good one, and only an hours drive down from Calais. But there appears to be a lot of net chatter as to the location of the airshow! Whether at Epinoy, which is the airbase, or at Niergnies, which I have no idea where this is, just a tin base!!!!!! The chatter is saying the Tigers will be at the base, but the flying at Niergnies.......which seems a wierd idea!

John,

Thanks for that update.

From GWoof's entry from yesterday re the Tiger Meet at Cambrai

You can now register at:

www.natotigers.org/spotters2011/index.php

there were some early problems but now seems OK.

The spottersdays are at Cambrai-Epinoy but because the base held a show last year they can't hold one this year! So the show weekend is at Cambrai-Niergnies, an old NATO base. It is across town from Epinoy. As the runway is now short the Tiger jets will fly from Epinoy but would expect the choppers and smaller visitors to be at Niergnies!

I'm booked for 16th May spotters day, but can't be there show days sadly :-(

Just found the following on the TAS website re a trip to the Turkish Air Force Air Show:-

100th Anniversary of the Turkish Air Force Airshow Thursday 2nd June – Tuesday 7th June 2011

The Aviation Society is pleased to announce that it will be operating a fully organised tour from Manchester to the 100th Anniversary of the Turkish Air Force Airshow taking place at the Izmir Air Base of Cigli.

This Airshow has already been hailed as “a special mega event” which will see every aircraft type currently operating in the Turkish Air Force (one of the biggest in NATO) displayed, including F 4 Phantoms, F16’s and AWACs.
