In various stages of the Turkish Air Force, volunteers, flight instructors and union commanders were in charge.
However, Süleyman Demirel's Özaydınlı's Command was withdrawn by removing the approval of Prime Minister Özgül.
On April 24, Lieutenant General Cemal Engin was appointed Commander of the Air Force when he was not in his ranks.
Özaydınlı left the Turkish Armed Forces between his generals and the members of the Supreme Military Council (6 April 1977).
After his departure from the Ministry, he served as the Chairman of the Turkish Parliamentary Committee of NATO North Atlantic Assambles in 1979–1982.
