A anonymous C-20G visiting Kabul International Airport (KAIA) in miserable weather conditions. In the background you can see the Hund Kush mountain range, but the highest part is cover by sand dust, fog and low clouds. The VIP-aircraft, operated by VR-51, brought some high level commanders to the nearby International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) headquarters.

A beautiful An-12 on deck of Kabul International Airport (KAIA), serving as a hired freighter for coalition partners during the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operational in Afghanistan.

Fine Learjet in service with the United Nations seen at the dedicated UN platform of Kabul.

An unmarked South African Beech 200 parked at the dedicated United Nations platform at Kabul. Many ZS-registered aircraft flew with the UN at that time, so most probably it was a hired one too.

Antonov 32 of the Fixed Wing of the then Afghan National Army - Air Corps. The 342 was delivered to the ANA-AC in April 1991 in a green/brown colour scheme. Late 2004 the aircraft was overhauled at Ivanovo-Severny (Russia) and redelivered to Afghanistan early 2005 in this boring overall grey colour scheme. The aircraft only continued operations for a few years as it was withdrawn from use in 2011. It was scrapped (unconfirmed) at Kabul in 2012.

EX-022 during its touch-down at the single runway of Kabul International Airport (KAIA). This scenery is so typical for KAIA, sand dust in the air, low clouds, and the Khaja-Ravash Mount in the back ground

Parked in a corner of the old civil platform of Kabul International Airport was this Boeing 727 of Freedom Air. The aircraft is named after Nigerian aviation entrepreneur and founder of Kano-based Kabo Air, Muhammadu (Mohd) Adamu Dankabo, who carried the honourary title of Jarman Kano and who passed away in April 2002. In March 2007 Ariana Afghan Airlines took over this aircraft as YA-FAT.
