In 2006-7 I flew in and out there here and there. Have no fond memories of it. A few rockets being tossed into it is par for the course. It’s in Iraq, after all. . . When I was in country in the Baghdad area it was non-stop rocket and mortar action, 24/7.

We couldn’t go to Bagdad when I was there, it was way too Hot!. A couple, few... Mortars and rockets just seemed to hit just before we landed. We had little to no ASE aircraft survivability equipment. Fixed wing C-23s. Lots of time spent low level - 25’-100’, 250’. It was the Wild West out there, and like the TV show MASH back at base.
