Iraqi Airways

[Thomas_Cook_757-200]

Hi,
Iraqi Airways is hoping to get back in the air. Obstacles remain, including continued U.N. sanctions and a jetliner fleet scattered around the Middle East. But increased travel demand, an airport infrastructure and an experienced staff could speed the revival of a national carrier. Building on its strengths, Iraqi Airways could be flying again in 2 to 3 years and have 10 planes operable within 5 years. Iraq's aging fleet of 15 Boeing airliners was flown out to Jordan, Iran and Tunisia to escape bombing during the 1991 Gulf War.

Thanks

I hope they can get back in the air.
What planes did they have before the first Gulfwar?
I've seen pics off B 727's and B 747-200's.
