The aircraft belonging to the General Directorate of Forestry, which was sent to Croatia for maintenance, crashed last night, and Pilot Hasan Bahar was martyred in the incident. The grieving brother of the martyr pilot, Tolga Bahar, described his brother with emotional words: "My brother was a patriotic, self-sacrificing, and brave man. I had invited him for the weekend."
FAMILY ACCEPTED CONDOLENCES
Three months ago, Bahar was injured in a crash while intervening in a forest fire, and Turkish flags were hung on the street of his father's house in Avcılar, Istanbul. While the grieving family accepted condolences, the martyr pilot's brother spoke.
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET ON THE WEEKEND!
The grieving brother Tolga Bahar said, "My brother was a patriotic, self-sacrificing, and brave man. May God have mercy on him. I spoke to him two days ago; I had invited him for the weekend. He said, 'If I don't have to extend my duty until Saturday, I will come,' but he also said it might extend. But it didn't happen. Three months ago, the aircraft's engine had stopped, and he had landed it in a field. But now I don't know the details; he became a martyr," he expressed.
