Bernie,

To my recollection the Iraqi pilots flew into Iran to prevent having their planes blown to pieces. I don't believe the Iranians ever gave any of the planes back. So I guess the answer to your question is so that the Iranians could add some nice planes to their air force for free. Also, i wonder how many of those Iraqi pilots defected after they landed in Iran.
