Turkey fought with the US in the Korean War and were a NATO member nearly from the beginning of NATO. We’re using an airbase today in Turkey.

Perhaps not dead: Local Turkmen sources in #Syria say two pilots were captured. One is injured, the other is in good health. https://twitter.com/abdbozkurt/status/669089462421467136
