Iraqi airspace, north of Mosul - I'm not sure why I find this surprising, but there is no war in the air at 30,000 feet over Iraq, civilian aircraft are welcome. Our flight path takes us directly over Mosul, a little west of Kirkuk, east of Baghdad, and on into Kuwait.
I realize the insurgants don't have an air force, or long range surface to air to air missiles, but I would still have thought the airspace would have been restricted. The US Air Force is obviously flying combat missions in this airspace all the time, but close air support doesn't happen anywhere near this altitude.
