Hello people, I have 2 complete playlists named Fire fights Iraq/afgan this is a composition of raw film clips from all sides that should give you a good feeling for what it's like there. So if you want to get a feel for what its like on the ground go ahead and watch them. Send me messages on any questions you have ill do my best to respond ASAP (=

Top aircraft for the Iraqi's eh? After flying Migs I bet they are well impressed with these aircraft. Were they purchased from Airfix???
