Clearly the little ambulance hasn't been sanitized out of the picture over Iraq by Marketing Man (MM). That's because MM has no idea what it is except that there's no "N/A" in the picture and it looks nice.I suspect MM noticed the increase in 'normal' civilian scheduled and semi-scheduled flights over Iraq and decided they no longer needed to spruce up the Iraqi picture with weird aircraft without call signs and half the data missing.
MM is the kind of person that buys books by the running meter because the colour of their spines matches the rest of the interior. They could be train time-tables for all he cares as long as they make things look good.
The irony is that if MM took the trouble to look at the newly introduced "Most tracked flights" feature on 'his' site he would notice that they are practically all non-scheduled military flights !
Anyway, our little weird friend is still very much in the picture. It looks like it's landing at Baghdad but it could just as well have landed at Balad Air Base where we've seen it land more often than Baghdad. In fact I guess that is where it actually landed.
