Basrah Airport

امنياتي ان يكون مطار البصره احسن مطار بالعالم

لكن الخدمات منهكه والشرطه تدخن امام المسافرين والشرطه تكسر النظام وتضع من يعرفونهم امامك في الانتظار

اما تاكسي المطار فياخد خمس وعشلرون دينار لدقيقتان فقط

Hazards

lots of landing strips , huge area. Watch out for sand storms and take precautions to protect engines and electrical equipment. The dust has over a hundred toxins and many harmful bacteria that will render important electrics useless as well as provide incorrect data. Stay on hard top except to travel on hard pan well used roads. UXO is there to be found and when found will almost certainly explode in your hands killing U and people near you. Before you back away, look around for other material. The HE gets really brittle in the sun, heat and will explode with a good sneeze. Filter your water. Bring antibiotics, don't swim in the lake and welcome yourself to a portal to hell

re: also has KQTX code

Reply to @ptomblin: This is correct. "KQ" ICAOs are reserved for DoD use. You'll see KQs for the US weather stations in Iraq, Afghanistan, anywhere the US is stationed overseas. "EQ" is the NATO equivalent. In the case of KQTX, that's the weather station at Kirkuk. ORKK is the airport ICAO. Observations from ORKK are from the Iraqis whereas observations from KQTX are from the Americans.

re: also has KQTX code

Reply to @thesis: Look what it says on the "KQ" header: "(METAR weather station sites operated by the U.S. Department of Defense)"

In other words, "KQTX" isn't the airport, it's the weather station.

re: update

Reply to @ptomblin:

Thanx.

I get the occasional weather reports, such as listed below. In one newsletter mentioned codes KQ?? and OR??.

Maybe it's really U.S. military base, which is actually located in Iraq, but has a code of a group of KQ?? for administrative reasons?

re: update

Reply to @ptomblin: There seems to be evidence on the net that there is a weather station here with the ICAO code KQMG, but since, as I said, ICAO codes starting with K are reserved for the US, I can only speculate that this is a US armed forces weather station, not an Iraqi one. Iraqi airports that have ICAO codes have codes that start with "OR". All ICAO airport codes are 4 letters long, and one or two letters of that code designate the country, so airports in the "lower 48" contiguous US states that have ICAO codes (not all do, some have local codes) have codes that start with "K", airports in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico have codes that start with "PA", "PH" and "TJ" respectively, Canadian airports have codes that start with "C", etc.

re: update

Reply to @thesis: ICAO codes starting with K are only for airports in the US. Whoever told you this one was KQMG is full of it.

re: An Ex RAF base, Was MEAF HQ in 1950's

"From someone who also was posted to Iraq, Shaibah in '54", I remember that train trip well, at one time it was so slow that a couple of us stepped off and walked awhile and climbed back on board. Many,many moons ago!!!

South Tikrit Camp

I left my footprints in the sands around the DFAC, whilst looking after the American troops, I also built the buildings around the DFAC. These buildings were the accommodation for my Indian workers, innocent young lads who had never venture out of India, but return as fine hard working men.

Reopened to civilian flights

The Mosul airport in Iraq reopened to civilian flights on 2 December 2007 -- it had been shut down since 1992 because of the U.S. no-fly zone and then the second Iraq war:
