Comment
I sure know how to pick 'm. When it's not driving me bonkers going back and forth between Istanbul and Tirana TC-RSD goes on other mind-bending missions. This one really takes the cake ! It flies from Istanbul around Israel into Saudi and hangs around near the Iraqi border, no doubt waiting for clearance to enter that air space and then lands at the notorious Anaconda air base,now renamed Balad air base. TC-RSD is a Turkish ambulance, Balad has a famed hospital and for all I know the only think Turkish there is "a Turkish Cafe". After almost on hour and a half it flies out again this time taking the sensible route you'd think it would take on the way in too. What's the story here ?Resources
