Note: This Starfighter arrived from the US by boat (USS Breton) at Izmir harbour in June 1963. It has not been seen anymore after it was withdrawn from use at Murted Air Base around mid 80s as "4-616". Most likely it was scrapped like many other Turkish Starfighter.
We have not seen any photo of this aircraft during its operational life. So if someone can help, we would appreciate this!!
