Turkish Stars near miss.

A "new to me" vid of a Turkish Stars training sortie, taken in 2009. If it's an oldie, I'll delete. Here's the narrative:


The video was taken during a 2009 training session in Konya of the Turkish aerobatics team, Turkish Stars.

Major Evren Ayna describes the moment in these words:

"Every job has its own risks. Of course, you can't always be prepared for everything. But having good reflexes is good and expecting the unexpected saves lives. This video is a proof that this kind of things is not fun and games. It shows our effort and self-sacrifice. This video was taken in 2009, during a training session in Konya. My plane suffers a mechanical failure and we cheat death. I'm the one in inverted flight. "

Or he forgot that pulling back to make the cows look smaller only works when the blue bit is at the top of the AH.
