Until the EU accepts Bosnia, Albania and Kosovo into the EU I will shut my mouth and eat my words.

If the EU accepted Azerbaijan and Georgia as member, Turkey could benefit much more.

Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia are already part of the UEFA.

Armenia and Georgia also belong to the Christian world.

Bad idea. F15's are far better than F16's.

Israel is using F15's next to their F35's and even the US Marine ordered more F15's than F35's.

Didn't we already had a deal with US to upgrade or F-16s to the B70 config?
