Hallo,
does one of the older colleagues perhaps still have approach charts / diagrams from old Baghdad. It was Baghdad's only international airport until 1982.
I'm trying to create a historical scenery for the flight simulator. I am particularly interested in information about radio beacons, ILS and lighting.
I know the basic layout of the airport and have also collected a few photos. I am missing information about radio beacons, ILS systems, frequencies, lighting, etc.

I used to fly into Baghdad very regularly in the mid to late 70's, first in Britannias and then in DC8 50's. I am sorry I don't have any old charts, but I do remember the land/handling fees for a refuelling stop with a DC8 was $147!
