CASA CN-235 of the Turkish Stars

A close look at the CASA CN-235 that supports the Turkish Stars, the Turkish Air Force aerobatic team, taxiing at the 2025 SHG Airshow in Sivrihisar, Eskişehir. The aircraft wears the team's white livery with a red crescent and star sweeping from the nose to the tail. The CN-235 is a twin-turboprop tactical transport developed jointly by Spain's CASA and Indonesia's IPTN, and the Turkish Air Force operates it for transport, training and maritime patrol. Its high wing, rear loading ramp and rugged landing gear let it use short and unprepared runways, which makes it ideal for moving the team's ground crew and equipment between display venues.
