Operation Iraqi Freedom

9/20/2008 ? SATHER AIR BASE, Iraq ? Christopher Haag passes the half-way point as he pulls away from more than 300 other runners at the 10 K run hosted in Baghdad as part of the 12th Annual Air Force Marathon. Haag finished the run with a first-place time of 36:47. Airmen, Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Defense Department civilians, contractors and coalition military members came out to participate in the run on dirt roads along the flightline west of Baghdad International Airport. The 26.2-mile Air Force Marathon, hosted at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, kicked off with a fly-over by a formation of an F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15 Strike Eagle and F-22 Raptor. The Baghdad runners also had a flyover of sorts, as a C-17 Globemaster III and C-130 Hercules, as well as HH-60 Blackhawk helicopters all took off from Sather AB during the run in support airlift missions in and around the Operation Iraqi Freedom theater of operations.
