Any information of Turkish Air Force aircraft taking part?

[Wolbie]

Heard several Turkish AF flights on Malta ATC this evening:
19.52h TUAF68, 19.58h TUAF67, 20.15h TUAF70 flt and just a couple of minutes ago:
22.36h TUAF002 3-ship, KC-135? with 2 F-16's.

so I guess they are taking part

Hi,

Update from the Swedish contribution, 8 JAS39Cs from F17 arrived yesterday at Sigonella (not Trapani).
Support is underway as Eric just mentioned. Also Tp102A 102001/021 was logged for support.
Anyone for the other Gripen serials?

---------------------------------
Taken from photo at Souda/Crete, GC01.002 Mirage 2000-5F 40/102-EX should be re-deployed from Solenzara last week.

Regards,

Maurits

Disregard message about SP A-10s. These are SP F-16s and due to leave back home tomorrow (6 of them).

Ps: Bit of topic, but still about bases in the south: today 10 FT A-10s arrived from Qatar at Sigonella, but will probably continue in next few days westbound....
