Antalya spotting

Hi, I am new to this forum but by no means new to aviation photography.

I live in Holland, people who visit the scramble forums may have seen some of my photo’s under the name EC (to short for this forum so I had to pick something longer).

I made a 3 day spotting trip to Antalya Turkey in the last week-end of August. Turkey has a doubtfull reputation towards spotters, I did stay about one layer of roads away from the perimeter road and did not have any problems with police or security during my stay.

Traffic was very good with many european and russian charters making an appearance.

Here is some of the spoil

Next best thing to visiting Russia itself, excellent set of shots. Do you mind telling us what size of lens you were using for them, please?
All the best

Again thanks guys.

Pegasus actually bought IzAir in 2008 but keeps on operating the airline in its own name and is even adding airbusses (versus pegasus 737’s).

For those that want more: there are some 100 photo’s online in my photobucket account

I recommend using the slideshow at the right lower top side and once there the full screen option in the lower rigth side.

But here are some more directly
