Hey,
Got a couple of minutes to get online. Passed through Bagdad yesterday. DHL crew took the hit on climbout fairly high...lumbering non-maneuverable target and with no active defenses available, excellent job watching them bring it back on the deck, even though it did end up in the dirt off the runway. Sucked to have to see all that though. Outstanding work.
Maybe this'll add fuel to the Airbus vs Boeing debate.........
Iraq is dusty as hell and somewhat miserable.
Take care all,
MikeD
