But discussion is what life on FT is all about

Flypasts, such as BA's centenary effort incorporating the Red Arrows at the Tattoo, are very visible displays that entertain the public. They are represent the type of event popular at airshows around the world.

It would be great if TK and the Turkish Air Force managed a low and slow celebratory flypast along the Bosphorus. Enjoyment, thrill and a glow of national pride.

But a bit of nonsense requiring translation through flight monitoring screens seems just a bit, well, odd!
