And I thank you very much.
And quite right too Flowerseller. So what should concern us about this incident. I would suggest it be airspace in that part of the world. Clearly the Turks are nervous with twitchy fingers on triggers. Accordingly anything overflying the Turkish main Eastbound needs to be extra cautious. Especially heading South East. According to news tonight the SU24 was allegedly 17 secs over Turkish territory. The F16 must have been released to engage well before the incursion.
