Impressive personal fortitude & Photo's!
I'm not familiar with this base, but that Turkish Star appears to be landing on a Taxiway? :O

05.30 BST yesterday I woke up. Like a fool, I'm still awake :lol:

It's like a secondary runway from what was said. They made us back up by maybe 4 meters from the edge and then the Turkish Stars landed on it :Wow:

Konya has two (main) runways. Normal operations use left and right depending on where they are taxiing to or from.
In the mornings the visiting Turkish F-16’s all used that Left runway. Due to too many spotters too close to the runway in the afternoon, that runway was only used by the Turkish Stars and for the elephant walk.
