Mickey....

What about the February attack, when the 727 chief pilot approached into Mosul and was fired upon with a mortar at 150 agl prior to touchdown?
Mate, if they are capable of aiming a mortar at an aircraft approaching at 150 aggles, sorry dude...but those cats need to be out of there as that is bloody impossible!!!

An RPG, Recoilless rifle, Strella or similar, but a mortar...pffft yeah right!!

Once on the ground, yup, they are fair game!

Now is the DHL contract run under 'DHL' callsign or are they using their other pseudonyms like "PHG" "British Gulf" and the list goes on.....
