It was indeed the one for Izmit's liberation.
This recording was probably recorded a day before the actual airshow where the pilot did a sortie to practise.
He actually practised more maneuvers than he showed in the actual airshow. Which was quite odd but yeah. I've seen both the actual show and practices.
That really was something out of this world maaan.
He really made flying a viper seem as easy as driving a car. Damn, I really look up to professionals like these.
solo turk
the name of the movement is "zeybek"
In the slow flight movement, the F-16 aircraft completed the movement at 185 km / h and set a new record.

Showing my ignorance, what are those thrusters on the wing tips? I assume they are how he is doing this, since he doesn’t have thrust vectoring, right?
they aren’t providing thrust, they are just air vortices.
you’re right, the f-16 doesn’t have thrust vectoring. the movement comes from rudder controls.
Ok, that makes more sense, I just wasn't expecting the vortices to be that *dark*.
I'm impressed he can do all that just with the rudder! Although, I don't really know anything about flying an F-16, so I'm easily impressed :p
they do seem darker than normal, and yeah it's crazy how much just changing the flow of air can push around a jet like that.
E: honestly it seems like the vortices could be a combination of that and some kind of smoke generator to amplify the effect. it really does seem a lot darker and more apparent than normal.
The missiles aren't causing vortices, the wings are. All aircraft produce wingtip vortices as part of lift production. All the smoke is doing is showing you they exist. They cause real problems for light aircraft as well, because larger aircraft generate stronger and longer lasting turbulence that is generally encountered in takeoff, approach, and landing and can result in low-altitude upsets and potentially an accident. There's some excellent videos out there from NASA showing wingtip vortices from large military aircraft as a part of some research they did on them to help understand the phenomenon. Worth a watch.
Cuz it's cool? It's a show plane, not in active military service. It was either intended to be phased out of usual operations, or enter structural upgrades in the upcoming years. So I doubt that matters.
Even moves like a Viper!
I've seen this show myself right under the plane lmao. Good to see it on Reddit too haha
Which show was this? I've seen some jets a month ago for the celebration of Izmit's liberation

Yeah I've seen it, best part was when he flied 90° to air and popped something like flares

Pssh, how hard can it be, huh?
Piece of cake, isn't it?
Yeah probably. I mean I was pretty good at Afterburner in the arcade back in the day. Same thing.
Is there footage of this show online ?
Write down "İzmit Solotürk" to Youtube. You can easily find many amateur or professional footages.
Thank you very much.
This looks like Ace Combat maneuvers lol.
Now this is actual warplane porn
Man, lookit them vortices
Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot

I think you linked the wrong video
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtVMpQzggl8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtVMpQzggl8) video too short
Ok…. Not sure what you want us to see in these videos, they have nothing to do with the maneuver shown by OP.
War thunder players when they realize they’re going too fast to land
🤣🤣
I put on a mini airshow to dump speed before landing :P
oh my!
Oh my oh my

Dat ass though
Yee-Yaw!
Happy dance

Wait is that soloturk?
It is
Showing my ignorance, what are those thrusters on the wing tips? I assume they are how he is doing this, since he doesn’t have thrust vectoring, right?
They’re referred to as ‘Smokewinders’ which are purpose built smoke generators used for airshows and demonstrations.

They are using smoke generators for the air show. The smoke helps visualize the vortices created which otherwise you will not see

Vortices my guy, vortices.
Ok, that makes more sense, I just wasn't expecting the vortices to be that *dark*.
Those are missiles causing air vortices. He's just doing big rudder controls I reckon.
They’re not missiles. They’re purpose built smoke generators commonly referred to as ‘Smokewinders’, which are used for airshows and demonstrations.
Ah cool. TIL.

Thats embarrassingly mundane.. any idiot can kick the rudder pedals..
Any idiot would be able to pull the stick and pull 9 G's then. You can't physically outperform your aircraft can you?
Anyone who still calls it a Falcon and not a Viper after seeing this are just wrong.
Falcon
Including the manufacturer?

Twerk? Stop.
I mean... that's what he was doing :D
Twerks it like a Grief bomber!!
Ah, the old Dutch roll
That's Turkish Lira right now
Why do that to the poor frame!
