Incorrect on Incirlik which was only recently reoccupied. As for the other information:

Mar 6, 2016 |U.S. builds two air bases in Kurdish-controlled north Syria: Kurdish report;
The United States has nearly finished setting up an air base in Kurdish-controlled northern Syria and was proceeding with the construction of a second base for dual military and civilian use, a Kurdish website said on Sunday.

A spokesman for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said, however, the United States was not taking control of any airfields in Syria.

The Erbil-based news website BasNews, quoting a military source in the Kurdish-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), said most of the work on a runway in the oil town of Rmeilan in Hasaka was complete while a new air base southeast of Kobani, straddling the Turkish border, was being constructed.

I’m incorrect on what about Incirlik? I have colleagues there now, and some who have recently left there. Two of them were there during the coup. The base was never closed and there is no closing going on. So what are you talking about? It is true that dependents have left. It is not true that airmen or other service members have left, and without going in to details I will tell you for a fact that missions supporting American interests are ongoing from that Air Base.
