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.

A Dyess AFB (TX) based at the main ramp at Kandahar Airfield. Tens of USAF C-130s, mainly Air National Guard, were deployed for several months into Afghan theatre before relieved by others. They did not belong to the same unit, so a large diversity of squadron could be seen through the country.

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.
