On This Day 28th September 1996.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Turkish" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just in front of the wings. There is a small Turkish flag under the cockpit windows, and the blue name "Usak" on the nosecone, just above the nosewheel. The black registration "TC-THJ" is on the rear fuselage, under the tail. The tail is red, with a white circle containing a stylised flying bird. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with large grassed areas lining a grey runway and taxiway in the background, and buildings nestled in trees in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined military transport plane parked facing to the right on a rather damp concrete apron. The plane is largely white, with a grey lower fuselage, and a black stripe running along the body, partially covering the cabin windows. There is a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in yellow on the rear fuselage, just ahead of the black number "71", under the black word "Marine". Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, under flat grey sky.
