<p>Just arrived from Baghdad in the mid-1980's.  Still one o fhte most striking colour schemes.  Iraqi Airways had a fairly wide European network operating once or twice per week with 727s and 737s (to ATH and IST).  I managed to fly on this aircraft as well as their 737 and 747 to Cairo.

Load factors were quite low except the London service which was serviced by 747 or the occasional 707.
