Yeah sure 8)

On Friday, we go to the stand of the Turkish Stars and ask them of it is possible to meet the pilots. I give them my phone number and ask them to call me if the pilots are there. After a couple of hours, pilot Captain Fatih KIZIL gives me a phone call to come to their stand. We show the team many information with our laptop about the Virtual Turkish Stars and ask many information about the real flying. Also we give a little gift from the Virtual Turkish Stars. A poster with all names of the VTS members and screenshots of our team. These pilots are very proud with it :D

And finally we get a surprise from the team! Very nice photo with signatures of the pilots. Very cool!

We show also our show document and ask them if they have the same like this in real life. And ask them also if he can send it to our e-mail. He will do that! This is very nice, because it is very usefull to make the virtual show like the real one!

So, thats pretty nice!

Btw, Sweeper will make a better report later...

Thanks :D

Yes, sure, they like it if you are a big fan and want to help you. They will do many things but it is still a military team, so not everything is possible. :lol:

Exactly true... But you'd be amazed what you can achieve with a little professionalism and an up front attitude! I love the way you asked them to call you. Smart! :wink:

Excellent photos! Thanks for sharing. I see an L-21 Super Cub in the 5th pic on the first page, cool! Same as my dad's, but his is in the Italian Army training command colors.

Very cool that you all got to mingle with the real team 8)
