Turkish F100 Super sabres

[Balkandave]

Hi.

Does anyone know when the Turkish Air Force introduced the camouflage paint scheme from the initial USAF aluminium one, which was certainly in use in the late 1960s? The black and white pictures of the 1974 operation are a bit inconclusive to my eye. I am mostly interested in the F-100 squadrons (Filo).

Thanks.

Might be worth asking here: North American F-100 Super Sabres of the Turkish Air Force

Found this. Looks like the changeover started in 1969 but probably took several years.
