Turkish Tankers and Vipers

Thanks to the wind knocking out both the TV and internet for a couple of hours, and the police telling everyone to stay indoors, I had a couple of hours to spend. So I came up with some flightplans for the Turkish Vipers and the tankers that support them. Thanks to a brief window of internet, I was even able to find some of the bases they've been spotted at. There's probably already better flightplans for both of the types, but I wasn't exactly in a position to check when I started and I didn't feel like quitting with 2/3 done

4-ship flight and supporting tanker departing Lajes for Bangor, Maine. After a nightstop they'll continue to Nellis and Red Flag.

Two repaints have been assigned to refueling duty and will follow a set route over the Black Sea and the Med.

I am pretty sure the airfield manager would have freaked out over that first shot!! The engines are suppose to stay on the flight line side of the barrier

Great shots ... I am working on Anatolian Eagle too ..... love it. Where did you get all the scenery and models? I am missing UAE block 60's and some other NATO add ins, but other than that, my Konya AB is looking good.

I blame the antique FS9 traffic engine that decided to do a pushback

I assume the model was built assuming the a/c would always taxi out nose first, as the cargo door and crew entry hatch stayed open during the pushback

Lajes AB scenery is by John Stinstrom, Incirlik AB scenery is by Matt Magner. The Tanker is the MAIW model + supplied repaints, the Viper is by Henry T with repaints by Mike Pearson.
