List of active Turkish Air Force aircraft
(Redirected from )
In 1987 Turkey received its first F-16 Fighting Falcon under the 'Peace Onyx-1' deal, further examples have been locally produced through Turkish Aerospace Industries.[1][2] Other modern platforms that have entered service is the Boeing 737 Peace Eagle for Airborne early warning and control, the Airbus A400M Atlas for strategic airlift, the KC-135 Stratotanker for aerial refueling, and a host of other helicopters and trainers. Turkey placed an order for 30 F-35 Lightning II's with four delivered to Luke Air Force Base, and then had the order cancelled due to the country's acquisition of the S-400 SAM systems from Russia.[3][4] Below is a list of current aircraft in the Turkish Air Force.
