Mahmoud Eskandari, an army fighter pilot


After his dismissal, with the follow-up of his other colleagues, such as Ali Akbar Zamani (then commander of the Bushehr base) and Farajollah Bratpour, etc., Eskandari’s dismissal was turned into retirement Eskandari was killed in a car accident in 1380 and was buried under strict security measures in Imamzadeh Heydar Kalak Karaj.The H-3 Air Base consists of three parts: H-3 “Main” (also known as Al-Walid), H-3 Northwest, and H-3 Southwest.

It is located near Al Walid town close to the Baghdad–Amman highway in the Al Anbar desert in western Iraq, near the Jordanian border and 1,000 km from the border. It was erected to secure the western borders of Iraq and was also used in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Even on the quietest days, the Phantom Pilot feels the pull of altitude. The city streets move too slowly, the traffic hums too low, and the horizon feels closer than it should — like it’s calling him back. Friends and family notice the way his eyes trace the clouds, how his fingers twitch as if holding invisible controls.
