I wonder what happened to the Iraqi aircrew that took the aircraft to Iran?
I would imagine that they were detained, given the choice to remain and or released? It took a long time for Iran to repatriate Iraqi POWs from the Iran-Iraq war from 1980-1988. They were still repatriations 10 years plus after the conflict. They probably detained them for violating their airspace?
