Rules of Engagement
By the way...
If you survive the impact with the ground, may I suggest you to run away as far as you can from your doomed aircraft (don't forget to take the ELT with, to will give you a sense of "hope" they will come and help you)...
The reason?
Easy: What do you fly? (please, don't tell me "mail for the yanks".I guess you fly for the Deutch "red and yellow" post, only them accept to deliver civil freight into War Zone)
So you (as I did too) probably have been checking what exactly you carry on board of your machine. Do you? yes you do, and if you don't know yet, please next time before to depart on your journey to Saddam's playground, take a few minuts to check what is labelled on your parcels.
"Raytheon Aircraft" is one of the exemple I do remember of. Who is Raytheon? yes, they build the Beech 1900D, sure.
But when you see the price written on the box, and the very few amount of C-12 (King Air 200 and 1900 in military version) flying for the USAF, and ESPECIALLY when you know that Raytheon Aircraft is the biggest provider of missiles and Laser kits of Uncle Sam's army, you might start to concider twice going with all of that crap into what used to be a Beautiful Iraq.
So I tell you what might happen if you end up on the ground with what used to be your plane: Up there somewhere a guy is going to call in his cokpit "Bombs Away...Bombs Away.." ...then the nice whisling sound of a GBU-16 (or a new JDAM maybe, never saw it in real yet, might me pretty cool too) will arise your attention when the US Mobilty Air Command (for who you have been risking your balls) will use one of the kit you delivered to them a few month earlier, to guide a Paveway down to the rest of your plane and burst it into thousand of pieces unusable by Iraqi Rebels (on a military way, or propaganda way...)
You play by the rules...
Enjoy your next trip ma Boet...
