Photo Comment

Assigned to the 16th Special Operations Squadron and deployed to Bagram air base (Aghanistan), this gunship was forced, during a night combat mission over Helmand, to divert to Kandahar airfield after engine 4 went unserviceable (see the propeller in feather position). After its military career, this gunship went into storage at Davis Monthan, AZ in April 2014.
