A photo taken from a C-29 assigned to Scott’s 1467th Facility Checking Squadron of an oil fire on the approach to Kuwait City International Airport, 1991. The fires, set by retreating Iraqi troops, caused difficulty landing and covered the planes with a tar-like substance that had to be wiped off after each flight.
