Six years ago, September 2005, we had our Meteorological Panel Meeting for the first time in Turkey, Istanbul. Everybody who participated in that meeting will remember the unforgettable hospitality and support of our Turkish hosts. This event was a big success of friendship and international cooperation.
Now we had our second meeting in Turkey, Antalya. One cannot belief, but the organizers surpassed our high expectations again. It started with the lady who picked us up from the airport and welcomed us in our native language. Every participant from abroad enjoyed this service.
After less than one hour we arrived our 4+star hotel at the beach with conference rooms, swimming pools, bars ect., an excellent environment to be creative and also affordable.
Many thanks to all the local people and helpers, especially to Prof. Dr. Zafer Aslan and Dr. Ahmet Tokgözlü, who prepared this excellent meeting.
When the meeting started, everybody was touched very quickly from the Mediterranean lifestyle, with music, gifts and amiable kind of welcoming.

On the next day we had an excursion to the famous ancient Greek city "Side", which is nowadays the best-known classical site in Turkey.
So we have been in Turkey for the second time. It was a very motivating atmosphere and a another excellent opportunity to exchange our knowledge and experiences in meteorology and aviation.
At the end of the OSTIV Meteorological Panel Meeting some goals about meteorology and gliding in Turkey were discussed and recommendations agreed. See Recommendations
In this spirit I was lucky I could join this meeting with enthusiastic, warmly and very friendly people.
I thank everyone who assisted in the organization and participated in this meeting, which was initially the idea of Prof. Dr. Zafer Aslan.
