The victory monument in Zafertepeçalköy has two aircraft on display on top of a hill. Two AK-1 aircraft were produced by the 2nd Air Maintenance Center (HIBM). The project was based on the story of 2 Turkish pilots, Capt. Fethi and Capt. Sadik, who have passed away in the plane crash during their flight from Istanbul to Cairo in a Bleriot XI in 1914. Both AK-1 undertook the same flight and reached to Cairo using the Bleriot XI's similar historic route in 2001. Sadik Bey, is one of them, seen here.
