An exclusive extract from my new movie "Highlights 2009". The performance of the Turkish-Stars during Airpower 09 in Zeltweg, Austria.
Military display teams have a long tradition in Turkey. The first official aerobatic exercises were performed at the air force training academy as early as 1926. The Turkish Air Force put together its first aerobatics team in 1952, and five further teams followed up until 1971. The seventh team, the Turkish Stars, debuted in 1993 and has performed around 250 shows to date. The eleven pilots stationed in Konya fly eight Northrop F-5 fighters - the Turkish Stars are therefore one of the few display teams to use supersonic aircraft.

"Yekpare" is a storyteller which narrates the 8500 year story of Istanbul. The story embraces symbols from Pagans to Roman Empire, from Byzantine Empire to Latin Empire, and finally from Ottoman Empire to Istanbul at the present day.
Haydarpaşa Train Station, with its brilliant architectural forms, is the building on which the story is projected. The connection between middle east to west has been provided by Istanbul and Haydarpaşa since 1906. In the 50’s it served as a door for millions of internal emigrants who have triggered the chaos in Istanbul's dialectical daily life scenes.The project's conceptual, political and geographical positioning, the location’s depth of field and the fact that the entire show can be watched from Kadıköy coast; make "Yekpare" a dramatic presentation.
The first day of the performance also marks the 47th deathday of Nazım Hikmet Ran, the famous Turkish poet. We started out with a quote from his epic novel, "Human Landscapes from My Country": “At Haydarpaşa…
