DHL Baghdad

After the shooting down of OO-DLL A300, all DHL ops to Iraq were suspended ,but they did keep flying to Afganistan. Last year they started again to Baghdad with another A300, but lost the contract, and have since stopped, as for spiraling descents etc for landing, forget it, SAM's still go mach 2 + and turn faster than a commercial airliner, so unless you've got ECM or flares etc, your taking a risk each time you go there.
