Looking at baghdad airport, runways is damaged with multiple spalls all around.

How did that C130 landed there?

I don’t think RED HORSE (or equivalent) would be able to make it in time.

Looks like a C5 Galaxy to me, and those guys don't need runways.  Well, at least not perfect runways.

Looks like IL76 to me.....and C5 need VERY large runways. (You are thinking of C17)

Even thou, they still need a place to land with out bunch of holes. ;)

Wait I thought the evil imperialists were carpet bombing the city of Baghdad.  How come so many buildings are standing, and how come most of the fires were set by the Iraqis?  This must be a false propaganda photo.  Somebody post one of those photos of Grozny after the red army was done with it.

Notice top right of Airport photo is the concrete ramps they showed so many shots of the US soldiers climbing on.

No doubt, that's an IL-76 on the ramp at the north end of the airport.

FunkedUp: Do not worry. US government has sent for a Russian expert with the secret name 'Boroda'. He'll aid US troops to ensure that the proper number of civilians are killed.

Boroda :)
