A Turkish air force pilot won the top flying award at this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford in the UK.
The top award is the King Hussein Memorial Sword – presented in memory of the late HM King Hussein of Jordan, Patron of the International Air Tattoo (1983-1989) – and is awarded for the best overall flying demonstration. This year it went to Maj Murat Keles, flying the F-16C “Solo Turk” from 141st Sqn, Turkish Air Force.
Major Keles is pictured below receiving his award.
Maj Keles said: “I am very happy. It is wonderful to receive this award in the first year of our display and in the same year as we celebrate 100 years of the Turkish Air Force.”
The sword was presented by Major General Malek Habashnah, Commander Royal Jordanian Air Force , on behalf of HRH Lt Gen Prince Faisal.[…]
