141st_Eko1 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 The 2011 is the year in which the Turkish Air Force marks its 100th anniversary. It plans to hold a lot of different activities throughout the entire year, including different trainings, exercises, exhibitions, artistic and cultural projects and others. The Turkish Air Force command stated that their goal is not to just celebrate their anniversary, but to generate interest and trust in the Turkish Air Force from the country’s youth. The year will be remembered with a lot of symposiums, conferences and meetings about the development of the Turkish, European and International space technology and air forces. The annual European Air Chiefs Conference is scheduled to be held in Istanbul this year in June. Apart from that, Istanbul will also be the city to host the Global Air Chiefs Conference which involves around 90 different countries. The celebrations of the anniversary started on Jan 20-21 with various concerts by the Presidential Symphony Orchestra and they are scheduled to continue throughout the year with various exhibitions and contests. There are also plans for the creation of a movie, a 10 episode TV show, cartoon and a documentary or book which will show the story of the Turkish Air Force. On the 14th of May the citizens of Turkey will have the honor of seeing the unveiling of the Turkish Air Force 100th Year Monument in Istanbul. The Turkish Air Force was established in the 1911 and is currently one of the oldest aviation organizations in the worlds. It operates in the spheres of security, forest fires, natural disasters, medical transportation and search and rescue operations. The Turkish Air Force is equipped with the latest weaponry and systems which ensure them overwhelming fire-power and the capability to reach any point in the world within 24 hours. The Turkish Air Force has carried various peace operations around the world from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Afghanistan and Cyprus to Kosovo while helping allies like Haiti, Chile, Congo, Pakistan and Mongolia. The facility in Konya which includes the “Anatolian Eagles Training Center” and the “Electronic Warfare Test and Training Range” are few of the things that make the Turkish Air Force recognized worldwide. Many innovations are being brought to the century-old organization, with Turkey producing its own fighter aircraft and setting its sights beyond the sky and into space. The goal of the Turkish Air Force is to not only become one of the leading air powers, but instead a leading “air and space power”.
