Turkey has heavy maintenance and also their phantoms are not much functional there. There are even suggestions to make them as sample targets for drones, ... in Turkey. They had a huge fleet as well. But, all of them are almost gone and non-functioning in the next few years.
BTW, I don't understand your logic. What is the use of bunch of useless half a century old fighters? Do you want to put them as target samples of F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, and F-35s of our neighbors and NATO?
We have 6 active F4 fleets..though they have been heavily upgraded.
111. Fleet - F-4E 2020T Terminator
112. Fleet - F-4E/TM Phantom II
113. Fleet - RF-4E/TM(G) Phantom II / RF-4ET2 Phantom II
132. Fleet - F-4E 2020T Terminator & F-16C/D Block 40 Fighting Falcon
171. Fleet - F-4E 2020T Terminator
172. Fleet - F-4E Phantom II (Temporaly disbanded in 2009)
173. Fleet - RF-4E/TM(G)Phantom II / RF-4ET2 Phantom II
These fleets gonna retire, when F-35s arrives.
