Hold the nose.

Don't drop speed.

Well done, girl.

She did it, man!

Phew!

Scorpion 2-3 solo.

She went solo before you, mate.

What do you say about that?

Sir, let her do push-ups too.

Push-ups! Push-ups!

One, one, one, one, one, one.

You're head over heels in love,

just admit it.

Sir, let me get you wet a little, too.

What happened?

Alright, alright.

You went on one solo flight and

now you think you're a pilot?

Mustafa, the first solo, I'm telling you,

the first solo.

You just got to kiss this wrist.

Let your instructor kiss it when

you've gathered up your parachute.

Some kid was flying with his instructor.

Whatever happened up there,

they jumped out of the plane.

While they were gathering up the parachutes

the kid went to his instructor and said...

..."Sir, have I been eliminated now?"

Come on, now!

So, what else do you do?

We're just learning to fly.

I keep dreaming that I'm in the cockpit.

Really? I keep dreaming that

you've just jumped out of the plane...

...and are gathering up your parachute

on the ground.

- Look here.

- Just kidding. God forbid.

Ahmet, what do you dream of?

Just flying?

There's a life on the outside, too.

You know that, right?

Life here is very different, Burcu.

Life outside the school

doesn't exist anymore.

There's nothing but life on the ground

and life in the sky now.

- They each feel very different.

- How so? Tell me.

One understands while flying.

When I'm flying I feel like

I belong to the sky.

But it's not like that on the ground.

I become a stranger.

I become strange.

You can't understand.

No, I do understand.

Burcu, Onur was assigned an instructor,

Captain Kemal. You got to see him.

A really weird guy.

That's why he's gone strange.

Don't pay attention to what he says.

The guy flew 8 hours straight in Bosnia,

just stopping to tank.

I think that's why he has kind of

lost a few screws.

Anyone's world would change

if they flew that much.

I see.

It's time to part again.

Burcu, we're not parting.

I'm just sending you off.

Don't you miss flying

while you're on the ground?

How can I not miss it?

Well, that's just how I miss you.

Have you ever thought, as you were

getting off the plane after a flight...

...that this might have been

your last flight?

I don't even want to think about it.

I'll be thinking about it

the whole way back.

The bus to Istanbul is leaving!

All Istanbul passengers on board!

Burcu, please don't do this.

Think about the day you'll come back.

Go so you may come back.

And may you be me

so you understand love.

Look I'm making a new one.

How is it?

Looks like an eagle.

Are you making it for me?

Take it if you like it but I'm going

to make something else for you.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

Where's Aye?

Aye went to school, mom.

She sent her regards.

Why didn't you bring Burcu?

The poor girl came all the way here,

she could have stayed a while.

Come on, mom. She just happened to come.

Next time, I'll tell her and she'll stay.

Son, you're neglecting us but she has come

all the way here just to see you.

Don't you dare ignore her.

You're right, dad,

but I must keep focused.

So, it's hard.

Of course it's hard. You're going to fly.

Slow down, slow down, how many

times do I have to tell you...

...not to eat so much before a flight?

You'll end up vomiting on my head.

Take it. I'm full anyway.

Man, this is that moped.

Wait a second.

But where is she?

Come on, man, you're not planning to go

after her when you have a flight, are you?

Pray that she may see your brother

in a cockpit after a flight.

See what's going on.

Understood, sir.

In work zone number 4...

... we'll practice Cuban 8s and clover-leaf

acrobatics.

Go on, then.

I want my wafers.

Tun vomited in the air.

Run.

Run, run.

May your work go smoothly.

What are you doing?

I just landed the plane. I'm doing

the final checks before returning it.

I know how it is.

Have a wet wipe.

May your work go smoothly.

I'm here for a master's degree.

I'm writing my thesis.

I applied to the Air Force.

They accepted.

I'll be talking to you soon.

Why?

Is your thesis about us?

In a way.

I'm researching the effects

of flight instruction on the psyche.

You should speak to Onur.

You won't find anybody else who thinks he's

gonna fly as soon as he sees a plane.

Did you buy this helmet like this,

or did you get it painted?

I painted it myself.

Would you paint mine, too?

Wait a minute. First become a pilot.

Let's see these final checks.

Here's someone who does

their final checks.

What's up?

What's the matter?

Why are you all staring at me?

Nothing.

I'm not staring.

Don't involve me in this.

Hello. Welcome.

Would you like a wafer?

I won it in a bet.

So you made a bet, too?!

The warning lamps lit up. The right

engine stopped. Turning off the gas lever.

Bee three three solo, don't turn off the

gas lever! Don't turn it off, understood?

Copy that. Turning off, sir,

are we agreed?

Negative, negative. Don't turn it off!

The engine is running.

- Why cut an engine that's running?

- Alright. Turn on the lights.

You heard how a panicking man

can make the simplest errors.

This is your last plane.

You're very close to graduation.

I don't have to make pilots of all of you.

Some are being eliminated

for very simple mistakes.

Get a grip on yourselves!

Lieutenant nal, I'm canceling

your flights until further notice.

- Lieutenant Szeri!

- Lieutenant Szeri.

Continue from where he left off.

Sir, I would check the pitot tube and

the pitot circuit-breaker.

Alright, see you later.

My name is missing.

- It must have fallen off, wait a sec.

- No, brother, it's not here.

We're all very sad. This is bad news.

Tun Szeri.

Is this a joke, man?

Gave me a heart attack!

- I'll make you pay for this.

- Very funny.

- Go put this on.

- Alright, I'm putting it on.

- Are you sad?

- Sad? My heart jumped out of my throat.

Can we practice lazy 8s in formation, sir?

Bee 4-2.

These young people like pain.

Let's practice lazy 8s in

exercise zone number 3.

That would be good, sir,

Tun would need it, too.

Sir, we're returning.

What happened? Something wrong?

Negative, sir.

But we have to return.

I have the commands, over.

Relax, Tun. You can open your mask.

Onur, let's return, too.

Well done.

Your next flight is solo.

Sir.

I got my solo, man.

He couldn't take it anymore.

What happened?

It's over, Onur!

I got eliminated.

So that was it, bro.

I could only take it this far.

How did you get eliminated?

How should I know, brother? I just did.

I got eliminated.

Hello, it wasn't very nice the last time

we said good bye.

I want to come for the weekend, is that ok?

Call when you get this message.

Getting eliminated hadn't even

crossed my mind.

It's very sad, man.

Leaving the plane... The last flight...

Remember how we used to play

as children? ...said "You're it!"

So, that you're "it" is true.
