History

It is a former Iraqi Air Force auxiliary airfield consisting of a 10,000 feet (3.0 kilometres) runway and a small aircraft parking ramp. It was apparently abandoned after the 1991 Persian Gulf War and was seized by Coalition ground forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003.

Aerial imagery shows that the runway has been resurfaced; however, the airport has not yet registered with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) nor does it have aircraft on its parking ramp.

gollark: Presumably just "what the test outputs" or something, but with sensible tests it's correlated with stuff.
gollark: You can't really measure "intelligence", which is loosely defined, but you can measure *IQ* and it is somewhat useful.
