Hello from me too Paul and let me say what great photos.

But I couldn't be more surprised to see an operational F-35 with Turkish markings when the latest on the aircraft is printed below in Wikipedia..............

As of 5 January 2009, six F-35s are complete, including AF-1 and AG-1, and 17 are in production. "Thirteen of the 17 in production are pre-production test aircraft, and all of those will be finished in 2009," said John R. Kent, acting manager of F-35 Lightning II Communications at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company. "The other four are the first production-model planes, and the first of those will be delivered in 2010 to the U.S. Air Force

What is going on?

C'mon AV you're not that old are ya? It's obviously photo-shopped on there. In fact I think that's about the 20th F-35 picture I've seen with some other country's decals on it!

I don't frequent any other aviation forum to see such things. That's why I have done so much work on here in a short time and because I'm posting nowhere else. [Unlike others.]
Besides I'm naive'. This has been proven by me trying to get others to post for months and being too naive' to give up.

There is a few f35 in turkey now.But they r not operational and our pilot's test it and already we  produce some part of f35 ..(not only Turkish air force we produce some part of f35 for al f35 in the world).. thats normal to see a f35 with turkısh flag.
