Speaking to Anadolu, Lt. Col. Emre Mert, leader of the F-16 demonstration crew, said his team's performance can be called an artist's "painting in the air." Mert said the team members put their heart and soul into a 20-minute air show at TEKNOFEST, which also included performances by Turkish Stars, another demonstration team of the country's air force, as well as helicopters and drones.
