MAN777 you're right, it's a shame that they didn't fly out the 'bus's to a safer haven especially the A330.
When the first Gulf war started Iraqi Airways flew many of the a/c to neighbouring Amman where you still can see an array of 707's 727's A300's etc that have been stored and never used. The dark green paint has now turned to a very pale almost pastel green because of the sun!
