The Anatolian Eagle 2025 Exercise will be conducted in Konya from June 23 to July 4.

It was stated that seven countries—namely Azerbaijan, Egypt, Hungary, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United States—will take part in the exercise as active participants, while Brazil, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Mali, and Nigeria will participate in observer capacity.

Has anyone received Press approval for the Press day?

Also wondering - only 50% of the spotters I know received the May email saying they were approved and the joining instructions email would follow. Has anyone actually received this second email?

Turkish Embassy in UK is not responding to any enquiries.

Am beginning to wonder if these events are cancelled due to Middle East issues currently???

[EvD]

I will attend the spotters day, for that, I got the second email yesterday (26th) along with a link to the page of AE25-2.
Check your spam folder, my May mail was in there...
Also, it was a mail to a lot of Dutch spotters, so any mail to a British spotter might include your email in cc so you will be able to check if you are on the list.
best regards
Erwin

Two questions regarding the spottersday on Wednesday July 2nd:
- Did anyone read off the AS532 that flew around 14:45?
- When we departed from Konya in the late evening, there was a KC-135 parked right next to the civil terminal. Anyone for the serial?
