A. I do detect a touch of racist anti Türkish feeling from some posters here.
B. Türkçe Military pilots I have had the pleasure of flying with speak quite acceptable technical English. ATC also can communicate in English perfectly well.
Unless you deviate to colloquial non standard English, they keep up and understand just fine.
C. Some of you have very little understanding of just how big the Türkish military forces actually are.
From their point of view watching those SU24s targeting their ethnic brothers must have been very irritating.
Antalya is indeed full of about 1 million Russians in mid Summer. By now nearly all will have left. They own a fair bit of property in the west of the City so boycotting the area will not go down well with the Middle Classes in Moscow.
It's all very messy, granted. all we can do is keep 121.5 turned up and pay attention.
Fly safe everyone.
