What is this thing that looks like a plane in a field next to the runway in a bombed out Iraqi airbase? It looks like the outline of a Cessna, but no actual airplane... wierd. The resolution is good enough that we see the sandbags piled on the runways to keey them from being used, but whatever this is it is tough to make out.

If you think that was weird, have a look at this.
Same airport.

At a guess i'd say that both those, plus all the others aroud the area are scorch marks from fires/explosions.
This airbase in in Iraq so i'm guessing it has been bombed. If you want proof just look at the big hangers, and also the huge crater next to them!
In fact the entire area is pretty much blown to bits.
I think the sanbags are to stop the runways being used.
