When Incirlik's runway was being resurfaced, the pointy jets used the parallel taxiway, but that was too narrow for large aircraft.

So the tankers had to move to Antalaya.

Oh dear, what a pity, never mind. Of course some Brit bluntie found a $hithole in the middle of the bondhu which could be used for our accommodation, but the Spams were a bit cleverer (for once) and tested the water - to find that there was only one location where the water was actually safe.

The Sheraton! So we had a very pleasant time living in luxury, flying every other day and enjoying the poolside sunshine - all on HM. Due to the Turkish lire inflation rate, running up a bill for extras and then paying it off by credit card was an added bonus. Perfectly legal too!

Checking in has always been preferable to digging in!
