Turkish Air Force 100th
anniversary Air Show at Izmir
In the following year, Turkey joined NATO and
the first female pilot in NATO was a Turk. Other American aircraft flown by the
Turkish Air Force include the T-33, F-86, F-100, F-102, F-104, F-4, F-5, F-16,
KC-135R and C-130. The TAF saw very limited action in the Cyprus police
operation of 1964, but was extensively involved in the Cyprus operation of 1974.
Since becoming a member of NATO, the TAF has undergone many changes. It's
composed of the First Air Force at Eskisehir, the Second Air Force at
Diyarbakir, the Air Training Command headquartered at Izmir and the Air
Logistics Command at Ankara.
