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.

The Canadian Forces enhanced their transport capability in Afghanistan with the lease of six US Army CH-47Ds that were already in theatre. The US Army helicopters were repainted into Canadian colours, like this 147203 (former 87-00086) at the time of this pictures, this Chinook supported Operation SAIPH that ran from October 2009 - May 2012. This Chinook flew up to October 2011 for the CF and was eventually scrapped, its serviceable components were removed for use in newly purchased F models.

Operations like Enduring Freedom need a enormous amount of support, that many that even the military have less aircraft available. So many civilian operators of transport aircraft, especially those who are willing to fly at any moment to any location (war of not), take their benefits out of it. Trans Avia Export is one of these company's. On an average day at Kandahar during OEF, many Il-76s from many different company's were seen.

Operations like Enduring Freedom need a enormous amount of support, that many that even the military have less aircraft available. So many civilian operators of transport aircraft, especially those who are willing to fly at any moment to any location (war of not), take their benefits out of it. Trans Avia Export is one of these company's. On an average day at Kandahar during OEF, many Il-76s from many different company's were seen.

The new Foxtrot Chinooks are a welcome variation in all green US Army helicopters. The 82nd Aviation Regiment were deployed to war-torn Afghanistan in 2010. They sport a nice Dolphin on their tail.

In a war environment Medical Evacuation (MedEvac) is often necessary. Some UH-60s are assigned to this duty, and they received a red cross on their doors. In this way, during combat evacuations, the military are hoping they will not receive enemy ground-to-air fires on their helicopter. In a worldwide gentlemen agreement, fighting forces will not attack machines of buildings with these markings. Unfortunately... for some rebel and opposing forces it doesn't matter at all. This old UH-60A was seen during its take-off for another MedEvac mission from deployment location Kandahar.

Chinooks are a real workhorse, especially in combat environments. They are used for a broad range of missions. The standard US Army Helicopter Drab colour (FS34031) is on the CH-47Fs changed into Woodland Desert Sage (FS34201). This colour is tactical seen, much better in a desert environment. The 82nd Aviation Regiment deployed their Chinooks early 2010 to Kandahar.

The serials of US Army UH-60s are so difficult to read, so maintenance high lighted the last three of the serial. In that way, pilots can more simply find the helicopter on the flight line that they are going to fly.
