On 9-8-2014 Ozcan Ertem provided and update and photo of 148850.
The aircraft was re-registered TC-STF due to all Turkish
aircraft having only letter registrations. Obviously STF
is short for "Stoof", made at the suggestion of Ozcan when the
change had to be made.See
Home page for Ozcan Ertem photo.
As of
April of 2014 Ozcan Ertem of Ankara, Turkey has provided information that
this former Turkish military Tracker is currently owned by Turkish Aerospace
Industries and is registered as TC-850. The aircraft has been rebuilt with
turbo-prop engines and is currently being used to test out the engines.
This is important information provided by Ozcan as I was unaware this airframe
still existed, let alone was flyable. DDJ 5-3-2014
