You saw how she treated our President Mono! There is your answer :P

But seriously Turkey has been giving Germany shit for years now. Kind of a risky move when so many Turks live in Germany.

In addition to what The Larch posted above, the head of Germany's foreign intelligence agency announced publicly that Turkey is no longer seen as just a NATO partner with whom we cooperate, but due to Turkish intelligence operations in Germany is also seen as an enemy.

I remember Merkel complaining that the US tapped her phone.  Is the US the enemy now?
No, this is about Turkey spying, pressuring and influencing Turkish and former Turkish citizens in Germany, especially opponents of the regime there. Protecting our citizens from foreign intelligence agencies operating here.
But it is rare for our intelligence agencies to announce such a shift in policy, so the announcement is mainly a political manoeuvre.

Thinking of olds, I just realized I'm officially in that "military equipment nostalgia" camp. The prettiest warplanes to me now are the F-14 and the P-38, and even my also-rans like the F-111 are starting to get up there.

F-111 is sweet looking. As a kid my house was right along one of the flight paths for McClellan AFB. Watched them all the time as a kid.
