Magpies Over Baghdad – The Story Behind the Print
Magpies Over Baghdad portrays No. 75 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 Hornets during a close air support mission over Rasheed airbase near Baghdad.
The lead Hornet is tipping in to attack with GBU-12 laser-guided bombs while its wingman watches and waits. A USAF A-10 is shown recovering from an attack on the same target area, with a pair of F-15s visible higher over Baghdad.
The original product record states that Michael Rondot constructed the scene using pilot combat reports and reconnaissance imagery taken during the battle for control of Baghdad, allowing the different aircraft and activity within the airspace to be brought together in one composition.
The print is signed by Michael Rondot.
