THE TURKISH air force intends to expand its biannual weapons and tactics course run at its Konya air base, beginning this year, as the basis for a fighter weapons-and-tactics school.
The twice-yearly, weapons and tactics course is run by the 132 Filo (Sqn), but the air force wants to expand, both the syllabus and frequency of the courses.
Dissimilar air-combat training is to be introduced, using the unit's McDonnell Douglas F-4s, Northrop F-5s and Lockheed Martin F-16s.
The air force unit is scheduled to take delivery of it F-16s during 1997.
