In May 1990 I was able to visit Merzifon air base through a contact in the Turkish Air Force. Home of the 5nci Ana Jet Us it was flying the Northrop F-5A and B in those days. 1. Ex Royal Norwegian Air Force F-5A 575/8-575 was still in its original colours. 2. F-5A 21249/5-249 was on alert with live AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles. 3. One of the pilots was so kind to take my camera up and photographed F-5A 21251/5-251. 4. F-5B 21283/5-283 during an engine change was ex Taiwanese Air Force. 5. 14897/5-897 was also DART equiped. 6. F-5A 14904/5-904.

Super Dick, show us more of your nice collection slides, nice to see the RONAF 575 again in these colours... I checked and found out last time I saw it was at Ramstein, landing shot 4-6-75, let's say 40 years back, I can't believe it...
