dark light

Baghdad Int. airport

Its like a seen out of a movie.

All these plane sitting there, as if they were awaiting passengers to board (safe for the oddly positions 747sp)

Such a shame

It realy does look like the planes parked up after a normal pax flight, unloaded then got stripped.

Too bad several 727s were destroyed, they were quite new lowtimers and could have been sold off. The ones stored in Amman were delivered in 1982-83 and weren’t flown for more than 8-9 years until the sanctions were put in force.

yes, thats a particular tragic thing about these 727’s.

But, perhaps there is hope for the remaining ones. Not all of them have been stripped apparently
