The articles don't name the owner, but state that it is "known". Why was the owner not named? The story doesn't make sense. Multi-million dollar assets aren't abandoned, and they certainly aren't left without a paper trail to the owner. The article is probably an attempt to sensationalize some...

I'm just learning about the subject, but it seems at least a few of the Turkish flights have been over mainland Greece,. But in the situation of the Turkish shoot down of the Russian plane (the issue is not one jet or one pilot or a possible 17 second intrusion), the question is more of Which...
