I did not realise Iraqi airspace was open to overflights. Good job the

Iranian (ex Russian ) equivalent. Says a lot really when they rely on
IEDS made from 2 planks of wood and a couple of bits of metal and a

I'm not sure what the "ceiling" of a Stinger missile is, but I'm pretty
sure that it's well below the 25,000ft+ that a cruising airliner will be
flying at.

I flew back from Delhi last year over Afghanistan. *Fabulous scenery, but
what worried me was not stingers or whatever but "friendly fire" from the
