Centuries-old power to steel wings in the sky: Air Maintenance Factory in Eskişehir is 100 years old

In the post made on the ministry's virtual media account, "That first torch lit in Eskişehir in 1926 turned into a giant century with the vision of our Commander-in-Chief Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, 'The future is in the skies'.

From propeller-driven aircraft to combat jets, from engine revisions to national modernization projects. Today, the 1st Air Maintenance Factory Directorate powers the steel wings of the Turkish Air Force, from parts manufacturing to each flight of SOLOTURK and Turkish Stars.

"With one word for 100 years, it has been in safe hands, safely in the sky," it said. In the post, old and current photographs and images of the factory were included.
