Based on these, we decided to land in Corlu, after been told it is 90 mn drive from the hotel...more to that later.

Only the second PC12 had to go to Ataturk in Istanbul to solve an oil leak issue...turns out to b the Prop Governor, that need to be replaced.




On the way to town for a 3 hours transfer, we stop in an amazing place, a restaurant ready for 2000 people and just us....the meal was served within 6 minutes of our order...
