A Dutch Viper blasts away from Kandahar airfield, armed with its standard 20mm Gatling gun, AIM-9 Sidewinders and Guided Bomb Unit (GBU) 12s underneath the wings, the pilot and its aircraft are ready to attack Taliban forces somewhere in Afghanistan. It is bizarre to photograph actual combat missions like this!

During 2010 this DeHavilland was said to be operated by Presidential Airways, but at the same time, the aircraft was assigned since 2009 to a shadow company named EP Aviation LLC, that operates aircraft for the then US Blackwater organization. During late 2010, the aircraft was transferred to AAR Airlift, a company that provides the US government operational aviation solutions. The aircraft is reported as stored since 2013, but no location is known to me.

A US Department of State UH-1H (ex US Army 67-17669) in a striking color scheme at a remote platform of Kandahar airfield. This Huey was registered to the US Department of State on 11 Feb 2008 as N378SD (not visibly carried), and still current as such by 2023. The US Department of State Air Wing (DOSAW) is operating former US Army Hueys in a secretive role (among others, they flew anti-drug missions over Afghanistan).

Four A-10s at their revetment parking spots at Kandahar. The large concrete walls protect the aircraft for indirect fires, like rockets of mortars. When such a weapon impact the platform or revetments, hopefully only one aircraft will be damaged. The 104th Fighter Squadron "Baltimore Oriole" is a unit of the Maryland Air National Guard, 175th Wing stationed at Baltimore/Martin State (MD), also named Warfield Air National Guard Base, Middle River. Visible are three other A-10Cs: 78-0682, 78-0702 and 78-0719.

Four A-10s at their revetment parking spots at Kandahar. The large concrete walls protect the aircraft for indirect fires, like rockets of mortars. When such a weapon impact the platform or revetments, hopefully only one aircraft will be damaged. The 104th Fighter Squadron "Baltimore Oriole" is a unit of the Maryland Air National Guard, 175th Wing stationed at Baltimore/Martin State (MD), also named Warfield Air National Guard Base, Middle River. Visible are three other A-10Cs: 78-0682, 78-0702 and 78-0719.
