As well as rebuilding the Iraqi army, The Coalition is also helping to build the New Iraqi airforce. Heres a good link for anyone who wants info on it:
According to this site, 5 Iraqi airbases have now been rebuilt. The New Iraqi air force is currently equipped with Mi-17s, UH-1s, C-130s and hte jordanian built SB7L-360, a surveillance aircraft. Currently the airforce is mostly used for training and counter-insurgency, but as time goes buy, its duties will expand to aerial combat. In 15 years time (If that country isn't torn apart by then) I believe Iraq will have Tornadoes, F-16s, F-14s and toher western aircraft. Be my guest if anyone else has any theories. And if anyone knows of any current Iraqi air force development, please post it here.
