Back in the day as an aviation hack I flew to Baghdad to
interview Iraqi Airways, but they immediately clammed
up when mention was made of this particular hybrid and
of course refused any photos. Got back home, phoned
Boeing and asked if they had photos of self-loading
equipment for B747F freighters. Yes, there was one customer
out there who had ordered such.
It was my proud pleasure to mail a copy of next issue of the
magazine to Iraq with the said aircraft on the front cover and
the tag line -Iraqi Airways opens its big mouth.
