Özet:

 Airplanes, which emerged as a result of flying and the feeling of dominating not only the earth but also the sky, soon became among the war equipment of the armies. Turkish Air Force, which started its operations with the establishment of the Aircraft Commission on June 1, 1911, depending on the developments in the world, is among the first military aviation organizations established in the world in this sense. However, the successive Tripoli, Balkan and First World Wars did not allow significant steps to be taken in military aviation. The Turkish Air Force, one of the first organizations established by the Ankara Government during the War of Independence, was supported despite all kinds of economic and financial difficulties experienced after the declaration of the Republic; Regulations regarding aviation were made when conditions permitted, and aviation took an important position among the forces that helped strengthen national unity and solidarity; Both giant organizations and sub-industries such as TUSAŞ-TAI-TEI-ASELSAN-HAVELSAN, which made warplanes 40 years ago and formed the backbone of the Air Forces Command with these aircraft, and today, with Bayraktars domestic and national aircraft that make unmanned observations andor drop bombs, This continues to be important. Aviation activities in Merzifon district started between 1935-1936. While the Air Shooting School was moved to Adana in 1943, aviation activities continued in Merzifon with the arrival of the 4th Air Shooting Regiment, which was in Çorlu until 1941, to Merzifon in 1942; In 1951, its name was changed to 4th Air Base Command. With the order of the General Staff dated 1 November 1961 and the Air Forces Command dated 14 November 1961, the 5th Air Base Command base organization was established. While the 5th Main Jet Base, which is responsible for the air defense of the Black Sea region, continues to serve in the Merzifon district of Amasya province; It was also opened to civil air traffic with the protocol signed between the General Staff and the Ministry of Transport on 16 November 1986.

 Uçmak ve sadece yer yüzüne değil, gökyüzüne de hâkim olma duygusu sonucu ortaya çıkan uçaklar kısa sürede orduların savaş gereçleri arasında yer aldı. Dünyadaki gelişmelere bağlı olarak 1 Haziran 1911 yılında Tayyare Komisyonunun kurulmasıyla faaliyete başlayan Türk Hava Kuvvetleri bu anlamda dünyada ilk kurulan askeri havacılık teşkilatları arasında yer alır. Bununla birlikte ard arda yaşanan Trablusgarp, Balkan ve Birinci Dünya Savaşları askeri havacılık konusunda önemli adımlar atılmasına izin vermedi. Milli Mücadele yıllarında Ankara Hükümetinin kurduğu ilk teşkilatlardan biri olan Türk Hava Teşkilatı, Cumhuriyetin ilanı sonrasında yaşanan her türlü ekonomik ve malî sıkıntılara rağmen desteklenmiş; şartlar elverdiğinde havacılıkla ilgili düzenlemeler yapılmış, havacılık millî birlik ve beraberliğin pekişmesine yardımcı güçler içinde önemli bir konumda yer almış; gerek 40 yıl önce savaş uçağı yapan ve bu uçakla Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının belkemiğini oluşturan TUSAŞ-TAİ-TEI-ASELSAN-HAVELSAN gibi dev kuruluşları ve yan sanayii ve gerekse günümüzde Bayraktarın insansız gözlem yapan veveya bomba atan yerli ve milli uçaklarıyla bu önemini devam ettirmektedir. Merzifon ilçesindeki havacılık faaliyetleri ise 1935-1936 yılları arası başladı. Hava Atış Okulu 1943 yılında Adanaya taşınırken, 1941 yılına kadar Çorluda bulunan 4. Hava Atış Alayının 1942 yılında Merzifona gelmesiyle Merzifonda havacılık faaliyetleri devam etmiş; 1951 yılında ismi 4. Hava Üs Komutanlığı olarak değiştirilmiştir. Genelkurmay Başkanlığının 1 Kasım 1961 ve Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının 14 Kasım 1961 tarihli emri ile 5. Hava Üs Komutanlığı üs teşkilatına geçildi. Karadeniz bölgesi hava savunmasından sorumlu olan 5. Ana Jet Üssü, Amasya iline bağlı Merzifon ilçesinde hizmet vermeye devam ederken; 16 Kasım 1986 tarihinde Genelkurmay Başkanlığı ile Ulaştırma Bakanlığı arasında imzalanan protokol ile sivil hava trafiğine de açıldı.
