WOOSH!
Engineers repairing a damaged runway
at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan watch as a C-17 closes in during a short
take off. In Afghanistan, C-17s have flown more than 200 humanitarian missions,
airdropping more than 2.4 million ration packages to refugees. C-17s have
flown hundreds of missions to the war-torn country carrying troops, supplies
and heavy equipment into austere Afghani airfields. |
