According to Dutch media outlet RTL Nieuws (RTL News) a commercial aircraft pilot also heard the warnings. Warnings were given before the aircraft entered Turkish territory and they intensified as it crossed the border. According to the pilot the Turkish F16s flew right over him and never headed to Syrian territory, so he/she is convinced that the Russian Su-24m was shot down above Turkey. The pilot of the commercial aircraft wants to stay anonymous but has been verified by RTL Nieuws to be a commercial airline pilot.
