Several rockets have struck the control tower and 90% of the a/c have been destroyed.

Looks like a junk yard anyway. The 727 has number 3 Eng missing...( you can see the empty mount )

Apparently a Afriqiyah Airways A330 in included in the destroyed list.

Thank the Lord we got out in time - well, 40+ years ago!

Not destroyed but badly damaged (maybe a write off)

The picture I'm looking at is a CFM56 powered A320 !

Does to me as well actually, Though heard both A320's and A330's for Afriqiyah involved, plus apparently some Buraq Air 737's as well.

Also sozx for a bit off topic one thing I find bizarre is that 5A-ONK for Afriqiyah was Damaged in late 2011 and has still not returned to service. Maybe a write off?:

Wonder if the same will happen to these aircraft? :)

Now reported that a Libyan Airlines A330, 5N-LAS (brand new - line number 1424) was hit by an RPG.

It's still not clear which aircraft were destroyed, damaged beyond repair or just hit by gunfire. Many damaged were in the latter category; it's just too dangerous to go out on the airfield to assess damage.

This Nouvelair A320, regularly used by LN on flights to LHR, was among the aircraft damaged: Photo: TS-INN (CN: 793) Libyan Airlines (Nouvelair) Airbus A320-212 by John Fitzpatrick Photoid: 7653525 - JetPhotos.Net

One Bouraq Airlines 738 was damaged, as well as several Libyan and Afriqiyah A320s and a Government Falcon 900.

5A-ONC, An Afriqiyah A319 has also been Damaged

Don't worry. It'll buff out.
