An-124 beging unloaded at one of the ramps of Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan. Check the background of the picture where you can see the massive daily activity of the once busiest signle runway airfield in the world. The ramp behind the Condor is filled with a civil fleet of Mi-8 variants and a Ka-27 that serve among other things, humanitarian relieve missions, while leaving the runway is a civil Beech 1900D. Entering the runway are two Blackwater Aviation Casa 212s, while in the far distance several USAF and RAF C-130s can be seen.
