Not sure but maybe some can help out to find the truth…
>>>Pakistan Air Force F-16s Fly Off to Turkey
ISLAMABAD, Sep 29 (APP): A contingent of six multi-role
F-16s of Pakistan Air Force has reached Turkey to participate in a
Multi air forces exercise code named “Anatolian Eagle”.
According to a PAF press release, the Turkish Air Force
accorded a warm welcome to PAF Fighting Falcons.
Participation in a multi-national air exercise in Turkey
shall be an interesting as well as challenging task for the PAF
Falcons.
Besides Pakistan, leading air forces from United States,
Germany, Holland, Italy and Turkey are orchestrating air battle
scenarios in demanding operational environments.
A fortnight at Turkey would not only shape up training of
PAF officers and men but would also serve as a milestone in
strengthening ties between countries participating in the
exercise.
Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat
shall visit the Turkey Air Base holding Exercise “Anatolian Eagle”
and witness the culminating high intensity air operations.
The PAF historically participated in multi-national Air
Force Exercises in the past. This includes exercises with USA, UK,
Iran and Turkey. These exercises have obviously been of tremendous
learning value for all participants.
“Anatolian Eagle” will be a step in the same direction, the
press release added.
