I know, but it just seems like a huge waste of resources on something that can’t be properly seem and will be forgotten by tomorrow, even if it does hit the news.

Why? Pilots need to log up flight hours. And this is a very nice way to do it. Especially in these times.

Don't want to create an unnecessary discussion but;

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!
