Turkey only had F-5A, RF-5A & F-5B in service, no E!

1st batch of 19 F-5A & 2 F-5B was delivered in mid january 1966

20 RF-5A were delivered in 1969 & 1970

After retirement in the KLU, Turkey gets 44 NF-5A & 16 NF-5B from the Netherlands (from 1989 on).

48 F-5 (20 Northrop F-5A, 8 Northrop F-5B, 14 Canadair NF-5A, 6 Canadair NF-5B) were upgraded between 2001 & 2006 to F-5A 2000

The fighters were forseen to retired from Service in July 2017.

But not sure. I guess @sukhoy34 will know it exactly, he´s from Turkey.  ;-)

What he said! ;-)

And as far as I can recall, it is still in service. A Turkish F-5 crashed about a week ago. :-(
