Incirlik Air Base is a military air base in Turkey, used by the U.S. and Turkish Air Force. It is located 8 km from Adana. The easternmost base of the US Air Force and NATO Command in Europe. The decision to build the air base was taken at the Second Cairo Conference in December 1943 and was built immediately after the end of World War II, as a reserve airfield for medium and heavy bombers of the U.S. Air Force. In December 1954, a joint use agreement was signed with the Turkish Air Force. Already in the first years it became clear the value of the base both for reconnaissance operations against the USSR and for rapid response to crises in the Middle East. Already in 1956, from Injirlik began reconnaissance flights of U-2 to NATO bases in northern Norway and back. In addition, it was used by planes that made reconnaissance flights over the Black and Caspian Seas. At present, Incirlik remains the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East. Its warehouses hold ready-to-use nuclear weapons. The 39th Aviation Wing of the U.S. Air Force is based on it. Among the aircraft on duty at the airbase there are all types of aircraft in the U.S. arsenal. These are F16 fighter bombers and A10 attack aircraft, F15 fighters and B52 strategic bombers. There are also C17 and C130 military transport aircraft, KC135 refuelers. Incirlik Airbase still plays an important role in reconnaissance operations. It is the base for the "eyes and ears" of the American command E-3 "AVAKS" and E-8 "Gistars" aircraft. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=279854
