This modified C-160D (once German Air Force 50+28) entered Turkish Air Force service in the early 70s as ETI-036. It was assigned to 221 Filo during the late 80s and received the so-called Gören-1 update somewhere in the 90s. This Gören project covers Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) modifications (different nose and multiple antennae on top and underneath the fuselage as well as an Aselsans electro optic Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR). The aircraft serves as a dedicated Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) aircraft. There are 4 such aircraft in Turkish service.
