Bende bunu gibi 5-6 saniyelik 4 kesit var, tam halini izlediğimi hatırlıyorum. Ama her yerden kaldırılmış gibi.

During the Konyaspor vs. Fenerbahçe Ziraat Turkish Cup match on April 21st, viewers and players were surprised by the incredibly loud sounds of F-16 fighter jets and Sikorsky T70 helicopters flying directly over the stadium during the live broadcast.

It turns out, this wasn't just a random military exercise. Major General Mete Kuş, the Commander of the 3rd Main Jet Base in Konya—and a known supporter of the local club—ordered the flyover in a coordinated "show" with Konyaspor fan groups. Right as the aircraft flew over, fans in the stands unfurled a massive banner reading: "From the Eagles of the Sky to the Eagles of the Grass, Good Luck."

While the fans loved the extreme show of support, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) were not amused by military assets being used for a football match. Following the incident, Major General Kuş was officially removed from his post in Konya and reassigned to a passive desk role at the Air Force Command Headquarters in Ankara, which is being viewed as a significant demotion.

Only in Turkish football do you get close air support for a cup tie!

TL;DR: A Turkish Air Force General used F-16s and Sikorsky helicopters to do a flyover for his local team (Konyaspor) against Fenerbahçe. He got stripped of his command and reassigned to a desk job.
