More flights than you would think.
As a frequent passenger in & out of BIAP I appreciate the security concerns that led to the shutdown.
Another good reason is that the military aircraft do not have to compete for airspace near the fight.
Another beautiful fall day in Baghdad.

Thanks for your insight and, hey, be careful out there. Never having been there I wonder how much control folks like CENTCOM have on commercial flights when they are operating?
Just for fun, every once in a while I will try to schedule a flight from LAX to BGW, Saddam International Airport. I figure that we've REALLY won against the insurgents and other evil once that becomes possible.
If I want the travel computers to actually find the airport and compute a fare, what airport code should I use? Or are things not yet that modernized?
I know for a while I could take Royal Jordanian Airways from Jordan, and there's supposed to be Iraq Airways working, but I couldn't find a schedule. Any tips?
Many thanks.

I feel guilty saying this but I am glad that my son is home on leave for two weeks. I don't have to have a nervous breakdown with ever report of a humvee or Bradley being targeted. I was hoping that this shut down included military flights and his leave might get extended. Guess not.
Pray for the brave soldiers of 1-7 Cav.
