Turkey Sends Body of Shot Down Pilot Back to Russia Monday Nov 30,2015

Turkey today Monday Nov 30,2015 sent back to Russia the body of a pilot killed when his plane was shot down by the Turkish air force for allegedly violating its air space on the Syrian border, reports said.

A Russian plane carrying the body of Oleg Peshkov left Ankara's Esenboga International Airport for Russia, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported, without giving further details.

His body had at the weekend been taken from Syria to southern Turkey and then flown to Ankara.

Both pilots aboard the Su-24 war plane ejected and parachuted to the ground on the Syrian side of the border after being shot down by Turkish F-16s in the November 24,2015 incident.
