Oh, shit, you’re right. That’s a G4. Turkish Airlines is owned by the government. Of course it’s got the same designator. Good catch, Doctor L!
That could very well be Erdogan, and if it is it means his government still has control of air traffic control and the Turkish Air Force. He wouldn’t be drilling circles in the sky if he knew he might be missile bait. His pilots would never stand for it.
Whomever’s on that plane, it’s now heading over the Sea of Marmara in a northeasterly direction. Maybe to Istanbul? But that’s closed, or at least it was the last I saw.
