As part of our visit, aerial photography activities were carried out on the first day, and our internationally renowned Aerial Photographer (Spotter) colleague, Cem DOĞUT, had the opportunity to capture striking shots with his A400M Aircraft during the flight, which lasted approximately 1 hour, accompanied by the breathtaking Mount Erciyes in the skies of Kayseri. On the second day of our visit, we toured the Headquarters of the 2nd Air Maintenance Factory Directorate (HBFM), located in the Melikgazi district of Kayseri, in the morning. During this visit, we conducted an interview with the Technical Management Director of the 2nd HBFM. In the afternoon, we visited the Aircraft Depot-Level Maintenance and Repair Directorate, located within the 12th Air Transport Main Base Command campus, located right next to Erkilet Airport, and we took a short facility tour, getting information about the A400M C-Check Overhaul operations, and the Retrofit Project, which is currently in progress at the A400M Depot-Level Aircraft Maintenance Center, which was put into service with the ceremony held on July 8, 2021.
