Iraq Air Force is Back
Not quite up to pre-war standards, but its a start, from Multi National Force-Iraq:
The new Iraqi Air Force has returned to the sky, performing a variety of missions throughout the country, thanks to training and support from Coalition advisers.
At Kirkuk Regional Air Base, advisers help Iraqi military members of Squadron 3 train for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions...
The mission of Squadron 3, one of six squadrons in the Iraqi Air Force, is to perform ISR of the strategic infrastructure in northern Iraq -- flying over the oil pipelines, electrical power lines and other important facilities to monitor their condition and watch for insurgent activities.
This is accomplished with the SAMA (Zenair) CH-2000 aircraft, a single-engine, two-passenger plane.
