Instructor Kemal canceled my flights.

He gave me a red.

I feel really down.

Anyway...

Come on, let's forget about it.

How are you doing, you ok?

I'm fine. I'm going to the workshop.

Come along, it'll distract you a little.

Look, I'm in no state to fill in

a questionnaire, ok?

Alright, come on now.

That's nice. Give it here.

Here you go.

Jump now.

We can't reach it,

let's try again in a while.

Alright. I'll wait here.

Here we are. Welcome.

Wow. Painting too, huh?

I just drew these for myself.

They're very good.

So you still paint helmets?

I drew this for my biker friends.

Do you like it?

It's really beautiful. Great work.

I was going to ask you

to paint mine, too, but...

I think it's too early for you yet.

You're right.

Don't even know how

much longer I'll be flying anyway.

Why do you wear this scarf all the time?

Is there a special reason?

Hmm. It's a present.

She took it off her neck and put it

on me the first day of Flight School.

Why didn't you say anything?

Now I'm wearing it, too.

- Did you even ask? You just grabbed it.

- I'm sorry.

Where's your girlfriend,

is she here now?

She's in Istanbul.

Actually, I'm a little upset

about that, too.

Last time she called, she said she'd come.

I told her not to.

Do you think I offended her?

And you ask, Onur?!

Why did you tell her not to come?

- Dunno.

- Call her right away.

- I should, shouldn't I?

- Call her.

She doesn't answer anyway.

You forgot to do your flight checks.

We were supposed to do them every

10 minutes but you're still standing there.

Bee 4-7, ili Rapcon.

Bee 4-7, ili Rapcon.

Onur, answer already.

The man went hoarse.

ili Rapcon, Bee 4-5.

I'm listening.

Forget it. You can't even say your

call name properly. I have the commands.

Bee 4-7.

Exercise completed, we're returning.

Come on then.

You got your second red.

What is this, man?! It's just too much!

Too much.

As if he's watching for opportunities.

Two reds in a row.

That's just cruel!

Doesn't he know this guy's situation?

He was at the funeral.

Onur, what state are you in? Get a grip.

Onur, why did we come here?

How did we get here?

What did we promise each other,

don't you remember?

Don't look as if you don't understand!

What you did is treason in my book!

- Come on, Aye!

- Mustafa, you stay out of this! Go!

Look at me.

Didn't we promise each other,

when we were tiny?

Either both of us would be pilots,

or neither of us?

Why did we nick our fingers that day?

Why did we get a spanking?

Did you forget how we balled our eyes out?

- Aye!

Look, we shed blood,

and we shed tears.

And we said we'd give up

our lives, too, if necessary, didn't we?

Look, what you did is treason in my book,

Ahmet Onur!

Aye, come on!

Look, Uncle Mehmet was

practically my dad, too.

You becoming a pilot

was his greatest dream.

Instead of getting a tighter hold,

you just let yourself go.

Is this what you're going to do

for your dad?

You don't understand,

you just don't get it!

What is it that I don't understand,

Ahmet Onur?

Look at me, remember.

No one can understand this

better than me!

Attention!

Aim!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Attention!

Port arms!

Look, that's my dad's plane.

- What happened to the plane?

- It crashed.

- What happened to your dad?

- He flew.

Let me have a look.

Come.

Sir, I'd like to speak to you

about something.

Have a seat.

Sir, with all due respect...

...I don't think Onur

deserved the second red.

He took his father's death

with great courage.

He got it from me.

He was ready for it.

The real reason is his mother's anxiety.

That's why he's not performing well.

I still trust Onur.

If it had been someone other than Onur,

I wouldn't have given them a red.

I give him the second red so he'd

get a grip of himself. Understand?

Sir, I don't know about the first one,

but he got the second one on purpose.

How do you mean?

Sir, they call us twins for a good reason.

Whatever he feels,

I feel it, too.

His mother, you say?

What was her name?

Nee, sir.

Let me tell you a story, Mrs Nee.

There was a lazy, good-for-nothing boy

who didn't want to go to school.

His father sent him to work as a shepherd.

One day, the boy came running home.

He said to his mother:

"Mom, I saw something.

It was huge. It was flying."

His mother said,

"It was a bird."

"No, no, There were two people in it."

"So it was a plane, and those

inside were pilots." she said.

"Mom, I want to be a pilot, too."

Said the boy.

"You haven't even graduated from

primary school...

How are you going to become a pilot?

You'd have to study hard." said the mother.

The boy had been really impressed.

"Mom," he said, "I promise to study hard,

I'll become a pilot.

Send me back to school."

And? Did he manage to become a pilot?

He's standing in front of you, ma'am.

What does 'firmament' mean?

Sky.

Those who fall in love with it

are prepared to give their lives for it.

It's better to shoot a bird in flight

than to keep it from flying.

We're training our wing comrades here.

Now we're their teachers but

they'll be our teachers in the future.

So, we're actually training

our own teachers here.

Mrs Nee, your son has two reds.

If he gets one more,

that will be his last flight.

You may not see him flying again.

My son will fly.

Do you know who dies first in wars?

Those who have no one waiting for them.

You understand why as you're flying.

You'll be a pilot soon.

Make sure there's someone waiting

for you on the ground when you fly.

I'll remember that.

Do you understand now why

I asked you what you'd flown first?

I think I do, sir.

You can't understand.

You haven't flown solo yet.

Flying exacts a price.

In the sky, time gets suspended.

On the ground, it flows like water.

As you fly, time flows back and forth.

You enter a storm...

...you pray for your wings to hold,

you shake violently.

Five minutes pass like five hours.

Then you come face to face with death.

Your entire life...

...passes before your eyes,

like a film strip.

That's why it's not...

...possible to ever forget anybody.

Connect to someone.

Make sure someone is waiting for you.

Or it will follow you all your life.

I'm going abroad on a mission.

Keep my car.

I'll be gone a long time.

I want to find it exactly like this

when I get back.

Hello, Burcu, how are you?

I'm fine, too.

We're graduating and I'd like

to invite you.

I'm still wearing your scarf.

You don't answer my calls

but I never take it off.

You never take it off? Are you sure?

- Wait, stop. They put them up?

- They put them up. Come.

Hzarc, Eskiehir.

Eskiehir.

- I'm really happy.

- Me too, man. Konya, brother, Konya!

And I was assigned to Eskiehir.

The lists are up.

Really? Did you check mine?

It's F-16, right?

Yes. F-16.

What's yours?

- F-4, of course.

- Nice, good luck.

Wish Mustafa good luck, too.

Good luck.

Are we together?

Ask your twin.

That's the one who checked the list.
