My condolences to their families... heroic seems an odd thing to say, especially considering you can go from hero to zero in the Turkish military.

Please also consider that whatever the political differences may be during a given year, the servicemen and women who share the aviation profession are in the largest sense colleagues.

CFIT seems more probable. Two pilots named, but nit the crewman.

I have nothing but respect for those that choose a life in the armed forces, past & present. They are potentially putting themselves in harms way for their respective countries & if the press release chooses to nominate them as heroes, then I have no problem with that.
Just my 2c.
