I was living in the Green Zone for 6 months. The Zoo area was amazing. Palace was HUGE! gold plated everything. Also a small Brothal was in the Zoo area. Which became a medical center. Amazing area for sure. Nice flight and description my friend.
That's awesome! I have a buddy that was with the engineers after the ground forces took Baghdad. He got a picture of himself sitting on one of Saddam's gold toilets.
Iraq is one of the countries I'd like to check out more in the sim. So much ancient and interesting history, from dawn of human cilvilization. But there are also so much brutal, recent history. And I remember being both saddened ang angered by the archelogical sites being destroyed by ISIS.
The last time I flew out here with default, it was not nice at all. I did not try it with the Bing or Google free version. Why don't you do a little recon flight and let us know?
Great stuff, most welcome learning about places that are sadly not usually of interest to many. 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!

Shukran Nick for another great enjoyable and informative learning experience.
Glad to have you along, Ress!
Cool flight over a lesser known area.

Right. The the evil meter was off the chart for those guys.
Is the area also nice without the map enhancement paid version ?
