as i recall, all of the ramp is video monitored and recorded. Some Ramadan afternoon more than 25 yrs ago a L-1011 bumped into the door mirror of the combo unit. The marshall kept telling the crew to continue forward and the engine nacelle bumped the side mirror and cracked it.
i was on the ramp that day and you would have thought that World War 3 began.
The only thing that proved the expat crew was not at fault was the video tapes.
Of course, nothing was mentioned anymore about the matter.

would be interesting to know is the Iraqi 400 is leased from Air Atlanta as well.
