Log Turkey (near Antalya) 13th -23rd Sept

[Jeff]

Hi all,
Just back from a holiday in Turkey, not technically a spotting holiday, more of a family holiday with spotting possibilities !! Anyway the resort we stayed in was the Sentido zeynep resort and golf spa, it can be found in the Thomas cook brochure and was about 17 mile as the crow flies from Antalya airport.
We arrived late evening and the only thing of note was a 737 sitting pallets (TC-SKF)
From day one it was clear that due to the haze after 10am it was nigh on impossible to see anything unless it went directly ott unless you were very lucky. Therefore best spotting times were from sunrise till about 10ish.

The approach to ANT brings the over the airport and out to sea before turning back to
Land, aircraft from west were never seen but the russians from the east came right over the hotel.

OTT mostly from
The south came up from Alexandria and Cairo and set a direct path straight over the runway, the SV 330s were daily and breakfast was arranged around them. So here is the list, all taken from FR24 or Planefinder from the comfort of the sun lounger as the wifi worked in every area of the resort 😊

Any questions fire away

Great log Jeff, and to think you had to endure sitting by the pool guzzling pints of lager to put that list together, life can be awful at times.....
