Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

M.S.Ö. Air & Space Museum is one of the few flying museums in the world where one can see 1940 DC-3 "Turkish Delight" getting pulled out of the hangar while world famous Mustang P-51D "Ferocious Frankie" is flying over your head! The aircrafts are at arm's length distance and seeing so many airworthy vintage aircrafts is a blessing.

Fantastic opportunity to get some insight into the advanced scientific achievements of previous times in the islamic world and how scientists at that time benefitted from previous nations and what impact they had on generations to come elsewhere. They had to design artefacts either based on description in books because no originals disappeared or they are displayed in other museums around the world. Nonetheless it’s an interesting collection and reminder of great and inspirational achievements.
