Your information is correct AK01.
The R.A.F. Typhoons are remarkably similar to those seen over Israel recently, ZK322, 349, 430 plus one crewed by 6 Sqn. These flew back to Akrotiri for the weekend, with ZK322 & 363 returning early Monday.

In addition NF-5A 3072/2 and 3046/? remained on the flightline after the team went airborne on Wednesday.
Also I strongly believe that the F-16’s listed under “based” other than 132 Filo were assigned to their respective units. They all operated from the western shelterarea rather than the eastern area where 132 is situated.
Notably a 181 Filo aircraft was seen in front of a shelter when we departed Konya on Thursday early afternoon. However, no 181 Filo aircraft were seen on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Also note that F-16C 91-0003 is listed twice. It was parked at the Eagle ramp with the Bandirma aircraft.
A nice visitor which arrived Thursday morning as Azerbaijan Air Force IL-76TD 4K-78129. Also CN235 052 made a brief stop at the civil terminal just before noon.
