Because Ops / Movs people found the pronunciation of 'Incirlik' all too difficult, they would insist on referring to it as 'Adana' - and using the IATA code 'ADA'....

So, somewhat predictably, one fine day one of HM's scruffy trash haulers did indeed land at 'Adana' - but at Adana (Sakirpasa - LTAF) rather than Adana (Incirlik - LTAG) where it was expected....

And wasn't rather a senior officer one of the operating crew..
