Turkish Stars

The Turkish Stars ( _tr. 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 Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighters, making them one of the few national aerobatics teams to fly supersonic aircraft, and the only one with formations of eight supersonic jets. Fourteen F-5s are available to the team.

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