Ankara Güvercinlik Army Air Base, ((トルコ語:Ankara Güvercinlik Kara Hava Üssü)) is a military airport of the Turkish Army located in Güvercinlik of Etimesgut district, west of Ankara in central Turkey. The air base hosts General Staff controlled units, General Command of Mapping's aviation unit, Army Aviation School, 1st Army Aviation Regiment and Ankara Gendarmerie Aviation Group. The airport is open to general aviation for civil domestic flights with permission. ==History== With the foundation of the Turkish State Airlines Enterprise ((トルコ語:Devlet Hava Yolları İşletmesi)) (DHY), the predecessor of the Turkish Airlines (THY), in 1933, regular domestic passenger flights started the same year between Ankara and Istanbul via a stopover in Eskişehir. The airport in Güvercinlik became the first airport of Ankara. In 1935, a training and a maintenance service center were established by the Turkish Aeronautical Association ((トルコ語:Türk Hava Kurumu)) at the airport. The center, called Türkkuşu (for "Türkish Bird"), carried out revision services to the DHY in two hangars until its relocation to the nearby airport in Etimesgut in 1945.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Yurkish Technic )〕 On February 13, 1947, the first international passenger flight of the DHY departed from the Güvercinlik Airport for Athens via Istanbul. Güvercinlik Airport served for the city of Ankara 22 years until 1955 when the civil flights were transferred to the newly completed Esenboğa Airport. Maintenance facilities were relocated to Istanbul Yeşilköy Airport the same year. The Army Aviation School (''Kara Havacılık Okulu''), which was established in 1948 at the Turkish Army's Artillery School in Polatlı to train pilots and flight equipment technicians for reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters of the army and the gendarmerie, was deployed in 1958 to Güvercinlik Airport. Following the re-establishment of the aviation branch of the Turkish Navy in 1968, the first naval helicopter pilots were trained by the Army Aviation Command's flight school at the Güvercinlik Army Air Base. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ankara Güvercinlik Army Air Base」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
