- That thesis got done long ago.

So what are you doing here?

I'm here, I'm in Konya.

I'm an instructor at the university.

They liked the master's thesis.

Now I'm doing a doctor's degree.

Very good.

You know about the wedding?

Yes.

What are you doing, how are you?

- I'm fine, what are you doing?

- Lieutenant. Mrs zlem. Have some baklava.

Enjoy, have some, my friends.

Are these with the whirling dervishes new?

Yes, sir.

Very nice.

The symbol of Konya, of course.

It's not just because of Konya, sir.

People from the four corners of the earth

come here every year for the maneuvers.

So we tell them to come.

Come, whoever you are, come anyway.

My father said about pilots...

...that they are the whirling dervishes

of the modern era.

Because we fly in the sky.

For you, it's flying in the sky.

For us, "Come, whoever you are,

come anyway."

While you fly, we pray,

First Lieutenant.

You can't even imagine how much it hurts

to clean out the locker...

...of a pilot who didn't come back.

Come on, there are tons of baklava left.

Thank you very much, First Lieutenant.

Thanks.

Don't mention it, chief. Enjoy.

This is a very nice car, too.

Very handsome...

...but neglected.

It breaks my heart to see it like this.

Don't ask.

I couldn't find a mechanic for it in Konya.

The gears don't work, it burns oil.

I'm going to Eskiehir for the wedding,

I'm worried it'll give me trouble.

Let's take my car.

Leave this one to us, we'll have a look at it.

You know about such cars?

Mrs zlem, First Lieutenant, come,

I have something to show you, this way.

Ms zlem, watch your head.

This plane had crash-landed,

gone off the runway and burned.

The Americans thought it was

practically impossible to repair.

But we repaired it in Turkey.

Chief, that was well done indeed.

I feel really proud.

We're proud, too.

It's going to fly again soon.

Burned, repaired.

Born again.

A phoenix!

I'll fly it myself.

Where to, Onur?

To Eskiehir for the wedding, sir.

Good. Have a good trip.

Thank you, sir.

- How are you?

- Fine. Give it to me. I got it.

- Move over. I'll drive.

- Oh, yeah?

- Move, move.

- Alright, then.

What? You're going to become

a doctor now?

Now I research the mental state of

those who couldn't make pilot.

You used to paint helmets and stuff,

what happened with that?

The doctor's degree

is so tough, Onur.

I haven't had time to paint

or draw for a long time.

But you'll paint mine, right?

We'll see.

What's Burcu doing?

Is she coming to the wedding?

We haven't seen

each other in months.

You know...

...you burned me up.

Let me introduce you.

Elif, my classmate Tun.

He'll introduce us a few more times

but nice to meet you. How are you?

- I'm fine, how are you?

- I'm fine, too, thanks.

So, what are you doing,

search and rescue?

How many have you rescued?

Just a fisherman

and a mountain climber.

Mate, everyone's dying

to go on missions...

...but I must say

we pray not to have to.

I see you found the perfect place.

It really suits you.

Why are you alone, mate?

Doesn't your radar work?

Look who's coming.

Hello.

Hi. Welcome.

- Thank you.

- Welcome.

- Burcu. Elif.

- Hello.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

You threw us out for being naughty.

They won't let us in to the wedding.

But they'll let us in thanks to you.

You look really sharp.

Thank you.

Onur is on his way, too.

But Aunt Nee and Filiz are inside.

Shall we go in?

Oh, here they are.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

Come now, dear.

Ms Aye Diner, do you take

Mustafa Hzarc as your husband...

...of your own free will?

Yes.

Mr Mustafa Hzarc.

Do you take Aye Diner

as your wife?

Yes.

- Ready, girls? I'm throwing it!

- Yes!

What have you been doing?

How's it going?

I kept busy with classes.

Then school was suddenly over.

I asked myself, what I had

learned from music.

So what had you learned?

Affection...

...and further, love...

...and the hope of reaching it.

What about you?

Nothing.

What do you mean? Didn't you fly?

I flew, of course.

But...

...I missed flying when I was

on the ground...

...and you while I was flying...

One day I came to see you, in Istanbul,

at your school.

I waited for you.

I couldn't come to see you.

I couldn't call you.

I didn't have to courage.

- The scarf you gave me...

- I know.

Aye told me.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

I think...

...what matters is the connection between us.

I'm like a kite in the sky, Burcu.

If I don't have someone waiting for me,

holding my line, I'd be swept away.

This is my line.

Please don't let go of it.

Please.

Wow, man, we're getting old.

How long has it been?

No way!

These maneuvers have

done me a lot of good.

Yeah, man, I hadn't felt so excited

since my last flight.

Here we are all together

on the same base.

I take you in even though

Onur hunted you like partridges.

Just don't create extra work for me.

- Don't make me look for you in the hills.

- Get outta here.

Everyone watch their back.

I'll show no mercy.

He's right, it's true.

We'll see.

Wow, that was...

- Take this. Take this.

- Come on, then.

Seriously, man, if you are successful

during these maneuvers...

...the force commander is sure to give

you an award. So who will it be?

- I'm sure it'll be me.

- Forget it.

Come on, let's go.

Solotrk is coming. Get moving.

Solotrk?

- Classmate! What's up?

- Just fine, classmate, really well.

- Really good.

- Wonderful.

You saw that, right?

Did you see what he did?

- Who was it?

- We'll wait and see, man.

It was Captain Kemal.

Didn't you know? Good news!

Your instructor is here.

Captain Kemal, welcome.

- Thank you, mate, how are you?

- Fine, thank you.

- Let me have a look at the plane.

- You must have missed it.

- Welcome, sir.

- Thank you.

What's going on? You're gathered again.

What are you doing here?

I'm on this base anyway.

They are here for the maneuvers.

These three joined because I'd be here.

So I'm watching out over these guys. Or

they'd be hunted down like partridges, sir.

I knew I'd see you during

the maneuvers...

...but what are you doing here?

We came to take a closer look, sir...

...but we had no idea you'd be here.

Good, good, enjoy looking at it.

You may one day get the chance.

Message received, sir.

Is your mission abroad over?

Are you here for the maneuvers?

Yes, it's over.

We're in the maneuvers together.

So you're flying red, huh?

Solotrk?

We'll talk about Solotrk later.

How's my car?

Sir, I have something to do in

the hangar. I'll come find you later.

We're going to have some tea.

Catch us then.

Let's go and drink some tea.

Sir, how many negative Gs

have you reached?

May your work go smoothly.

- Where's Sergeant-Major Naci?

- Back there.

Thanks.

Chief, chief!

First Lieutenant Onur.

What happened to the car?

Lts owner is here.

The car?

We knew you'd come.

Don't worry.

It's in the parking lot.

Thank you very much, chief.
