Re-birth of the Afghan Air Force

An Afghan Air Force C-130 Hercules flies over the crowd at the “Re-birth of the Afghan Air Force” event at Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan, Feb. 11, 2016. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani addressed the Afghan National Army, AAF and coalition partners, and spoke of the capabilities of the A-29, MD-530F, C-130, Mi-17, PC-12 and C-208 aircraft. He also praised the young air force for their efforts in the 2015 Fighting Season and Winter Campaign. The flying service was re-established in 2008 after it had ceased to exist following the collapse of the Soviet-backed Afghan regime in 1992. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt. Eydie Sakura/released)
