"Solo Türk'ün uçuş gösterisi ise, Girne semalarında yer alacak ve saat 18.00'de başlayacak"
So yes, the air display ... which one will be able to see in the skies above Girne ... will indeed start at 6 pm on Friday.

In today's haberkktc report (below) it refers to Solo Türk as a "gösteri ekibi", which means "display team".

However, you might be right Deniz1 ... maybe there are various individuals that perform solo for the team ... furthermore in all the pictures I've seen of them, like the one below, I've only ever seen one F16.

My TC wife though understood that the "Solo" name comes from the fact that the F16 airplanes are, as written in the article, "tek kişilik" which means for one person.

In any case, we'll see tomorrow at 6 o'clock

Well tomorrow we will know!

Deniz1,
I don't really understand why you have chosen to use a rolling eyes emoticon in you post - Despite what the news web-site wrote, I think it's more likely that it will just be a single airplane tomorrow evening ... just as you think.
In any case, I apologise if I have upset you ... and have a pleasant evening
Rgds,
iancrumpy

The rolling eyes were meant to be me tomorrow looking up at the sky. You have not upset me.

Well, that's because you're a mathematician...

It would have been easier for you if she had used ' OO' - you do know the formula for that...

I think that she was just being polite - anyway, take your pick...

Re : " you(r)" - Too often these days Keith I'm missing out letters or even words:( I never used to make such typos - I'm lucky to have you around Keith to correct me though

But yet again we're taking a thread off topic Keith

So, for all you wondering about Friday's air display it should be at 6pm.

And Ladbrokes have offered the following odds on the numbers of planes in the display :
1 plane : 7 to 5
2 planes : 11 to 4
3 or more : 2 to 1

When I saw the practise session the other day I saw 2 planes flying together over Ozankoy, so I guess there must be at least 2 of them, unless one of them is an understudy.

Deniz1 · Post by **Deniz1** » Sat 21 Jul 2012 3:12 pm

Well was it one or two then?

bigbadbob · Post by **bigbadbob** » Sat 21 Jul 2012 3:20 pm

One and it was awesome!

Well done Deniz ... strange though that it was referred to as a display team. Herneyse ...

cyprusishome · Post by **cyprusishome** » Sat 21 Jul 2012 9:13 pm

The display by Solo Turk was awesome, if you missed it you missed the best acrobatic display you will probably ever see.

The pilot turned that F16 around on a sixpence and did things that an aircraft was not designed to do. Plus the noise was unreal and deliberatley targeted at the crowd.

In the past the crowd has always given credit to the display team down on sea front, last night it was a standing ovation!!

Turkish Stars on 15th November you will have to pull out all the stops.
