Well after the last 2 months:


1. Falcon B1900 near miss with an RPG

2. DHLA300 written off with a recovery after being hit by a shoulkder launched SAM7

3. And now this C-17 having an Engine hit with similiar damage to the A300.

Me thinks they should close the airspace again. I know I wouldnt accept the contract into Baghdad, no matter how much it was negotiated for.

OK. they are VERY VERY lucky that there have been no fatalities but really, do we have wait for such an occurence before common sense prevails. Common you guys lets move the Airport or get a handle on the security.
