F-16C TuAF w/o 18may91 north of Mürted
F-16C TuAF w/o 25jul97 in western Turkey during a training mission from Eskisehir. Pilot bailed to safety.

Well,

Jon & Asif, I am looking for that info since a long time. Every time a Turkish F-16 crashes we know the place, date, pilot and all other related info, except for the serial number. I have done a lot of research to retrieve these numbers in the past, but without any success so far.

So if anyone has more info regarding the serial numbers of these crashes, please post them in this topic.

Greets,

Hi Asif

Yes, the list I posted came from Scramble, everyone is missing these serial numbers.

Jon

Just a quick note:

F-16C TuAF w/o 18may91 north of Mürted: This information is mixed with May 8 1991 crash. There is no Turkish F-16 that has crashed on May 18, 1991.

Similarly, F-16C TuAF w/o 25jul97 crash did not happen. Between 1997-1998, there has been no Turkish F-16 crash...

The rest of the list is correct....

Hello Feridun!

When you say that "TuAF w/o 25Jul97 crash did not happen" you mean that it was written off but did not crash, or that it was not w/o at all...?
