| #5 To clarify, some of the Iraqi aircraft that ended up in Iran during Desert Storm have reportedly been returned by Iran. There may be Iranian pilots flying the now-Iraqi aircraft. |

| #4 Good point, Pappy: perhaps the pilots were just running a few chores while returning the planes. Drop off the laundry, drop the kids at school, drop some bombs, ordinary stuff... |

| #2 Russian-supplied SU-25, most likely. Also possible - Cessna 208Bs and Mi-35 HINDs. |
