Terrorism and Misuse:¶
Since the tragic events of the September 11th attacks in 2001, the nation has become much more sensitive to commercial aircraft and aviation. Flying is a safe and enjoyable experience that terrorists cannot take away from us. By joining Turkish Virtual, you understand that our website and organization are for hobbyist purposes only. Any suspicious behaviour will be considered a real threat to the safety of our members and will be reported directly and without hesitation to the Federal Government of Turkey. No exceptions will be made.
