Having flown into basrah 3 times in the past 3 weeks I have no problems flying there and i can say it is far safer then flying into any U.K or U.S airport. The tallest building for 25 miles is the control tower and with a 10 mile secure area around the airfield patrolled with coalition troops all equipped with NVG's (Night Vision goggles) and a sweep by the RAF before we land and departed i would say it is safer than most places at the moment. I for one have no problems with the place!!

Sweety do we know each other??????
