The Aviation, Space and Technology Festival (TEKNOFEST), organized by the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the T3 Foundation, with Anadolu Agency as its Global Communication Partner, continues at Şanlıurfa GAP Airport.
As part of the festival program, SOLOTÜRK performed a special flight demonstration for TEKNOFEST visitors. The show was flown by Air Pilot Lieutenant Colonel Murat Bakıcı in an F-16 fighter jet.
During the display, demanding maneuvers at high speed and low altitude, along with sharp climbs and dives, drew strong appreciation from the audience. The flight of the approximately 15-ton F-16 at a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour at low altitude was followed with great interest by thousands of people filling the festival area.

Visitors watched the performance without taking their eyes off the sky and recorded the moments they admired with their mobile phone cameras.
In the final part of the SOLOTÜRK show, the flight was carried out to the song "Hatıran Yeter" by artist Ferdi Tayfur, who passed away last year. This created emotional moments across the area. Participants accompanied the song with applause, while SOLOTÜRK's performance in the sky received great acclaim.
TEKNOFEST Southeast, which started on September 30 in Şanlıurfa, will end this evening with a closing ceremony and award program.
