When I was going to Istanbul Aviation Club years ago, I flew at least 10 hours in rear seat on another T34A MEntor. Was a great plane and experience :) I really appreciated to my friend who was member of club and invited me to flying with T34 and other planes.

Here is my favoite Turkish airlines pilot's records while approaching to rwy 25 in heavy strong and gusty winds at LTBA, Ataturk Int. Airport,Istanbul.

"Lodos" is a local name of the strong southern winds. It is really nightmare for pilots in here.

After seeing countless of beautiful Istanbul Ataturk pictures throughout the years, it has always been a 'bucket list' to spot at the famous Flyinn Mall. Once news of the New Airport opened on 29 Oct 18 and IST is closing its doors by year end came about, this last spotting opportunity must be taken before Istanbul Ataturk Airport becomes 'Was'tanbul Ataturk Airport.

 

Here are some of the pictures taken during last week trip.

The difficult 'in between' the pole and the tree shot.

Out of so many TK's current special livery, the Turkey-Discover The Potential livery is the best.

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, arrived Istanbul in his B748 to attend the Turkey-Qatar High Strategic Committee meeting.

Surprised to see her landing in IST. Picking up President Erdogan to the G20 summit in Argentina.

Wonderful pics, what's the story about Istanbul airport becoming Wastanbul Airport?

It's a pun coined up by a friend. Between 'Is' and 'Was'.

After the current airport is closed, there will be just "here 'was' Istanbul Ataturk Airport."
