Leaving on a jet plane

An Afghan Mi-17 helicopter is loaded onto an AN-124 at Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan, July 18, 2016. The helicopter is one of four being shipped to the Czech Republic for maintenance and repairs. Train, Advise, Assist Command-Air (TAAC-Air) personnel worked with the Afghan air force and the Non-Standard Rotary Wing program office to schedule the helicopters for heavy repair while still maintaining the AAF’s war fighting capabilities with the other aircraft in the fleet. Mi-17s are capable of direct attack, close air support, search and rescue, and cargo and medevac transport.
