A turkey eh? I knew crows were feared by bad guy fighter pilots but didn't know turkeys could get to altitude!

It's been circulating on social media and bs "news" sites that cite social media for a few days. I've yet to see any confirmation, and since my fight went over Turkish airspace Sunday morning, I was very interested in trying to confirm or not.

Of all the NATO members, I would expect Turkey to be the least hesitant to blast any plane they consider hostile or uninvited.

This is going to one very touchy and tense situation. It could lead to a whole lot of bad juju.

Syrian =/= Russian.

But that headline was from March of 2014. So that is old news. Not related to the current situation/tensions.

Thanks, Figured it was current. I get in trouble thinking sometimes.

This was talked about quite a bit at atterbury over the weekend but most of us figured it was bs. I have yet to see or hear of any confirmation. Now if you go to the all ranks club at night you will be told we are just minutes away from ww3 from a private like 3 weeks out of basic lol
