Operation Enduring Freedom

First Lieutenant Faiz M. Ramaki, a Afghanistan National Army Air Corps (ANAAC) C-27 pilot, smiles for a photo after flying a successful first operational mission, March 24, 2010, at Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan. "This mission shows the ability of our instructors, show the ability of us as Afghans and shows you what hard work can do," said Lieutenant Ramaki, who is also the first Afghan pilot to graduate from the nine-month U.S. pilot training course in more than 50 years. "We can now assist our brothers in combat and that means a lot. We are flying missions with meaning and purpose and I could not be happier." (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Manuel J. Martinez/released)
