Comment

Amazing ! Apparently this Turkish C-130 flew to Prestwick in Scotland and crossed the Atlantic the next day to Canada and then into the US. Quite an expedition for a C-130 and given the state of affairs between the US and Turkey -- the S-400 issue, up front -- you have to wonder what it's mission is.
