Mentioned in W&R section Scramble June 24.
This airfield is north east of Konya, not north west! Mentioned F-84G and KT-1 look very much like T-33s on Google Earth....
Taşpınar, Turkey

Re: Taşpınar, Turkey
And it does not appear to be a "real" airfield either... Looks more like a range or reconnaissance tool as there appears to be only a suggested lay-out, without actual concrete or asphalt. The only "real buildings" appear on the southern end of the complex. And indeed, three T-33's look present instead of the F-84 and KT-1: two on the "platform" in the northern loop (1 camouflaged, 1 silver), 1 (silver) on a "dispersal" on the southern loop.
