A remarkable moment in Turkish aviation history took place when Turkish Air Force Commander Gen. Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu and Spanish Air Force Commander Gen. Francisco Braco Carbo flew side by side in two HÜRJET aircraft. The flight, organized by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ), highlighted the maturity and reliability of Turkey’s indigenous jet trainer platform. The video of the event, shared on TUSAŞ’s official social media account, quickly drew attention as a symbol of both technological progress and international cooperation.
The post captioned “Two HÜRJETs in the sky at once” celebrated the continued advancement of the program. HÜRJET, designed as an advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft, demonstrated its superior flight performance and precision during the formation, emphasizing its readiness for both training and operational missions. Such demonstration flights are essential in validating critical aspects like the aircraft’s flight envelope, mission computer performance, and pilot workload management in real-world conditions.
The participation of both air force commanders not only enhanced the international visibility of the HÜRJET program but also underscored its interoperability potential with allied air forces. With its modern digital avionics suite, modular mission systems, and low maintenance footprint, HÜRJET stands out as a versatile and cost-effective platform for future air training and tactical missions. The event also reinforced Turkey’s growing role in collaborative defense aviation initiatives and its commitment to expanding partnerships with NATO and friendly nations.
Industry observers noted that this flight marks an important milestone in the program’s ongoing certification and export readiness process. As TUSAŞ accelerates production and testing activities, HÜRJET is expected to appear in more international airshows and joint exercises, further strengthening its position in the global defense aviation market. Beyond being a technological achievement, the dual HÜRJET flight embodies Turkey’s broader “GökVatan” vision — asserting national innovation and aerial excellence on the world stage.
