Its a second trainer crash, before that it was T-37. I think Turkey should look towards K-8s and L-15s now seriously.
 
The Turkish Stars (Turkish: Türk Yıldızları) are the aerobatic demonstration team of the Turkish Air Force and the national aerobatics team of Turkey.

The team was formed on November 7, 1992 and was named the Turkish Stars on January 11, 1993.

Turkish Stars fly with eight Canadair NF-5s, making them one of the few national aerobatics teams to fly supersonic aircraft, and the only one with formations of eight supersonic jets. Twelve F-5s are available to the team.

The team uses C-130 Hercules and Transall C-160 support aircraft in Turkish Stars colours.

In Baku/Azerbaijan on August 24, 2001 Turkish Stars demonstrated a show to more than one million people,that is to be a world record.
