Iraqi Hercules in France

摘要

IRAQI AIR Force (IQAF) C-130J YI-306 (c 5704) arrives at Villacoublay air base, near Paris, on November 12. The Hercules was in France to transport the Iraqi defence minister and 24 other people. It's thought to be the first time an Iraqi C-130 has visited France. Noteworthy is the return of the pre-2004 Iraqi Air Force insignia on the rear fuselage. The IQAF announced last March that it was preparing to reinstate the historical insignia, which to date has also been seen on Beech 350 ISR YI-156 and RC-208 YI-112.
