Many fine Navy Officers I knew well are now behind bars so the little Napoleon can push his agenda. Did you ever fly at Konya?
No, I never flew in Turkey itself.
Just flew with NATO in the USA and got to know the Turks because my wife cooked shwarma (kosher) for the IDF guys at a group picknick and the Turks all came over, dying for it.
That and Shiner Bock, instant friends.
