Apalling is an understatement.

Flying over Turkish airspace all frequencies are filled with US military aircraft that have no clue about ICAO RT procedures or phraseology. One is hard pressed to get a call in as the yapping is constant.
To make things worse are the air to air refuelling operations that are done on a low altitude and there seems to be a problem hearing what Ankara is saying.

Most culprits are actually military and not contractors...
