I was there in 1983-1985, at Incirlik, and 1986-1987 at Pirinclik. Very different places, both were great tours. I was accompanied the first time, unaccompanied the second time. I got to the Lik just as the Embargo was winding down. Interesting place, and a lot of very nice people. You can't fake that kind of niceness for very long.

Gordon B. Hinckley is the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He is the current successor to Joseph Smith. As far as I know, he's not related to the shooter. If he was, I suspect things would have worked out much differently. He's a very good man.
