The Azerbaijani and Turkish Air Forces have performed a joint breathtaking airshow ahead of the grand opening ceremony of an aerospace and technology festival in Istanbul on Monday.

Azerbaijani and Turkish military aircraft displayed their stellar performance flying over the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey's metropolitan city of Istanbul within the scope of the TEKNOFEST Aerospace and Technology Festival.

Dozens of residents took out their phones to catch a glimpse of the stunning aerobatic maneuvers of Azerbaijan's MiG-29 multipurpose fighter jets and Turkish Air Force's world-renowned demonstration team SoloTürk F-16 and F-4E 2020 Terminator aircraft.
