I heard a story today that a Russian operator got shot at when departing Baghdad airport. According to the story they got shot at just after take off. The sam hit their wing so they decided to RTB and to make things worse they got hit by small arms fire.
Does anybody know if this story is true and where it happened. I can hardly imagine they got shot at in the green zone WSW of 15L.
Does anybody know the details where it happened and what altitude the small arm fire hit them? Appearantly they were on a downwind leg.
The decision to unload the acft and return to Sjarjah would almost make you think they flew a downwind over the city.
