Kaklıç Air Base is the airport on the left. It has 9.843ft/3000m runway (17/35). A number of transport-size aircraft are visible on the main apron, but the original photo was too blurry to identify the aircraft type. To the right is Çiğli Air Base. It has one 9.820ft/2.993m runway (17/35). The latter was the main airport for Izmir until Adnan Menderes airport opened in 1987. The new airport is located to the South of the metropolitan area.
