Erdogan was returning to Istanbul from a holiday in the coastal resort of Marmaris when the attempt coup began on Friday.
"At least two F-16s harassed Erdogan's plane while it was in the air and en route to Istanbul. They locked their radars on his plane and on two other F-16s protecting him," Reuters quoted an informed former military officer as saying in a report published on Sunday.
"Why they didn't fire is a mystery," added the former officer.
Another informed source from the Turkish government confirmed that Erdogan’s plane had been harassed while leaving Marmaris by jets piloted by coup plotters.
The incident has also been verified by another senior Turkish official.
Erdogan forced to cut off speech after breaking into tears
http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2016/07/17/475667/turkey-erdogan-funeral-tears-failed-coup
“We march in our funeral shrouds, and we will deal with these assassins, this cult, these followers of Fethullah,” said Erdoğan on Sunday at a funeral held for those who died in the recent coup.
The Turkish president was referring to a dissident movement run by Fethullah Gülen (seen below), who he has accused of plotting to overthrow him by building a network of supporters in the media, judiciary and, education, an allegation Gulen denies.
At this point, Erdogan broke down into tears and was forced to cancel the reset of his speech, but earlier he vowed to rid Turkish institutions of Gülen’s followers.
He also claimed that “Gülen group” had infected the armed forces, and vowed to “clean all state institutions of the virus.”

On the surface, looks like Erdogan is throwing them under the bus after himself sanctioning the shoot down for months, making him a total hypocrite. But if we think that he was coerced, or had no role in the shoot down at all, it makes more sense.

Could also be an unreported/unknown influence by Putin and Russia and/or Erdogan realizing he needs to do more to make up for his behavior of the past if he is planning to turn toward and court Russia as a partner in an alliance in the future. Seems a lot could be hanging in the balance based on what transpires with Erdogan and Turkey.

Yeah - I hope more mistakes are made, for only through these mistakes can the masses realize (hopefully) that most of their leader's are mass murdering psycho's
Been thinking a lot lately about this failed coup - and the amount of wishful thinking here seems truly disconnected from reality. And now Erdogan being Erdogan is going full steam ahead to purge Turkey of the 5th column - and as Harrison mentioned this is in effect a declaration of war against the Empire. I think he has to cozy up to Russia fast, by really making concessions and terminating their support for ISIL - for when the Empire strikes back Turkey needs to have Russia behind them.
I also think, this failed coup is an important marker moment - coming straight after the failure in Brexit could possibly mean that the Cosmic forces have clearly "shifted" into cleansing mode. As the C's mentioned previously and from the last session - the bad times for the psycho's are beginning. But these critters don't think like that, and they only know to behave like a virus, hence more chaos down the road as the Earth starts to respond. You can almost "feel" the rage from the Empire, and I think they are planning a "big" retaliatory move now...just some thoughts, fwiw
More hints that the Cs were right:

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the movement affiliated to US-based opposition cleric Fethullah Gulen would be treated as “another separatist terrorist organization” in the wake of last Friday’s failed coup attempt against his government.
Gulen movement to be treated as separatist terrorist group: Erdogan
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/07/22/476320/Turkey-Erdogan-movement-Fetullah-Gulen-terrorist-separatist-PKK-state-of-emergency
“We will continue the fight... wherever they might be. These people have infiltrated the state organizations in this country and they rebelled against the state," Erdogan said in an exclusive interview with Reuters in the capital Ankara on Thursday, describing the botched putsch as “inhuman” and “immoral.”
He drew a parallel between the Gulen movement and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), calling the former a malignant cancer that could develop if not eliminated.
“We will do everything necessary to have the highest rate of success. Whatever the law allows or admits,” the Turkish president added.
“We never considered even the possibility that they might be involved in this kind of treason... We supported them to the fullest as citizens of our country,” Erdogan said, adding, “They are traitors... They have always been two-faced, if you want, and now we see their real face very clearly,” he commented.

He drew a parallel between the Gulen movement and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), calling the former a malignant cancer that could develop if not eliminated.
“We will do everything necessary to have the highest rate of success. Whatever the law allows or admits,” the Turkish president added.
“We never considered even the possibility that they might be involved in this kind of treason...

They have always been two-faced, if you want, and now we see their real face very clearly,” he commented.

http://sputniknews.com/world/20160726/1043614974/erdogan-demands-apology-from-nbc.html
Last Friday, as the attempted military coup in Turkey was unfolding, NBC News reported, citing a senior US defense official, that Erdogan had been refused landing rights in Istanbul and was seeking asylum in Germany.
After the situation in Turkey stabilized, NBC News received a letter from the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC, accusing the news channel and producer Kyle Griffin of irresponsible actions, and demanding an apology. According to the Turkish embassy, the false report aggravated an already tense situation.
"It is outrageous that such important and sensitive information about the well-being of the Turkish President was handled in such an unprofessional way and was divulged without properly checking its validity and the credibility of the source," the letter read.
Although NBC News withdrew its allegations, it did not acknowledge that it had made an error.
Turkish and American citizens turned to social media to press the channel to issue a formal apology.
Hundreds of Twitter users on Monday made critical postings under the hashtag "#confrontNBC" and threatened the channel with protests outside its New York City headquarters.
