U.S. airline regulators are banning all flights between the U.S. and airports in Turkey as the country fought to overcome a military coup attempt that left at least 161 people dead and scores more wounded Saturday.
The Federal Aviation Administration ban includes commercial and private planes operating into or out of Turkey, as well as flights to the U.S. by non-U.S. carriers via third countries. (SNIP)
Meanwhile, the U.S. embassy in Ankara issued a statement Saturday warning that U.S. government officials have been told not to use the airport in Istanbul and that U.S. citizens in the country should seek shelter. The embassy said it is still hearing reports of sporadic gunfire around the airport.
The Pentagon says U.S. warplanes have stopped flying missions against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq from a base in southern Turkey after the government closed its airspace to military aircraft.

The Real Coup is just started
Will they ban THY (Turk Hava Yulari) Turkish Air Lines from entering the US anywhere?
The whole thing is an Erdogan Reichstag Fire.
Seems to be getting a little more bizarre by the hour.
“The Real Coup is just started”
You could be correct.
Twitter reports of thousands of Opposition arrests all over the country.
Erdogan is cleaning house.
If this were a game show like Dancing With the Stars, I’d give this coup a 5.
Not a good coup. Couldn’t hold the media building. Couldn’t keep edogan off of Turkish soil.
I’d HATE to be a coup member now.
I could never be part of a coup. Can’t keep secrets well.
Imagine how excited you must be to tell your wife or friends “we’re doing a coup Friday!!” and you can.t
Obama now has the excuse he needed to stop pretending to be attacking ISIS.
Crap, now I will have to switch my summer vacation plans to Tehran or Mogadishu.
Remember, Erdogan is the Islamic dictator that Obama and Kerry said everyone should support....what does that say???
Tripoli is nice...and Damascus presently has very good room rates. Might be a while before you can get a real doner kebab though.
Timbuktu. Lots of colleges, and the sports never get rained out.
I rather liked seeing the huge ‘UFUK University’ sign in Ankara. Always wanted a UFUK U shirt.
I wish this coup had ended like the Nicolae Ceausescu coup. Now THAT was a coup.
I would love to see Erdogan meet the same fate as Ceausescu.
I’m drawing a blank. Thinking a Soviet sattelite but coud be wrong.
“I would love to see Erdogan meet the same fate as Ceausescu.”
This is where the coup plotters went wrong. They should have gone to the seashore town where Erdogan was ‘vacationing’ and capped him at the outset! Coups are not usually successful without “beheading the snake.”
Yes it was. Notice how they all conveniently had his flags all over the place during the coup?
Didn’t the FAA get the tweet from Obama that he’s in full support of Erdogan? Oops, someone’s going to be in trouble.

ROFL!!! i’d spill my guts in a second.
For a cannoli, i’d give military secrets. JK
