When I was in junior high, I was living in Konya, where 3rd Jet Base is located. I was looking at these birds from ground and saying to myself "is it just me or these things look like bricks with wings?" 🙂 That was how it looked from that position. And then, our school was invited to the base. I had the chance to see Phantoms and F5s from very close. Fell in love instantly. They were big, angry, and intimidating..
Upgraded extensively with new avionics and and also the frame underwent a big maintenance. They are being used for air to ground operations like underground armories and shelters. Also the squadron they belong to is named "test squadron". New missiles are tested on these birds since they are one of last "balanced" aircrafts in use.
Old but Gold!
