Eskisehir Region, Turkey

Within Turkey there are a number of military low level training areas. Part of this area is known as the Eskisehir Region. The region is a popular location for this type of activity given its varied and mountainous terrain. It is commonly used by the Turkish Air Force and foreign forces deployed during operations and exercises.  

​

It should be noted that aircraft are by no means guaranteed on any given day. It is quite possible to draw a 'blank' depending on military operations, serviceability and weather factors to name a few. However, with determination and patience the rewards can be exceptional. Local types of aircraft that may be seen in the area include, F-4E Phantom II, and F-16 Fighting Falcon to name a few. If there is a detachment of foreign aircraft visiting Turkey who knows, you may get lucky!
