This four-ten is former CCCP-67513 when it was delivered to AFL/Kazakhstan on 24 March 1985. It was old to Arovista on 26 March 2002 after it was withdrawn from use in late 2001 at Kharkiv International Airport (Ukraine). The UVP became EX-417 and was seen here at a remote platform at Kandahar (Afghanistan). It was last seen stored at Sharjah in May 2011. It's current status (2024) is unknown to me.

When this picture was taken, this Kiowa Warrior was most probably assigned to the B Troop, 2nd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment "Banshee", one of two OH-58D units in the Combat Aviation Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division based at Ft. Campbell (KY). This 559 is a refurbished Fiscal Year 1971 OH-58D. After military service, the Kiowa was placed in storage at 309th AMARG on 22 April 2015. It left the storage depot on 18 September 2017 when it was sold as scrap to HVF West at Tucson.

Deliverded to the US Army as CH-47A 64-13126 on 21 Apr'65. Converted to CH-47D with serial 84-24165 and redelivered on 13 Aug'85). The heavy lift helicopter was Class A damaged in Afghanistan on 14 Feb'02 in unknown circumstances. It was flown to Frankfurt (Germany) in mid-March 2002, and left for probably Coleman Brracks (Germany) for damage assessment. Apparently it was repairable, so it returned to Frankfurt in Apr'02 and flown as air freight to the USA. It was converted to CH-47F and received serial 08-08053 (c/n M8053). Boeing redelivered the Foxtrot on 30 July 2009.

This lovely camouflaged Herk was accepted by the Royal Australian Air Force in August 1978. It flew with 36sq and was moved to 37sq (as pictured) when the RAAF C-17As became operational. The entire fleet of RAAF C-130Hs was retired by late November 2012. The withdrawn from use A97-006 was placed into storage at RAAF Richmond (Australia). The aircraft was sold to Indonesia as A-1330 and was delivered in November 2013. The RAAF Hercules' were often seen at Kandahar, flying logistic missions for the Australian military deployed to Afghanistan, as well as supporting their special ops.

This former US Army Huey (ex 73-21670) was registered to the US Department of State on 20 Aug 2004 as N5207E (not visibly carried), and still current as such by 2023. The Department's aircraft can be used for many types of missions, which vary by location. These may include (armed) drug eradication, interdiction, reconnaissance, surveillance, command and control, medical evacuation, transportation of personnel or cargo. 670 was last noted with the Tennessee Army National Guard, was stored and overhauled at Ozark-Blackwell Field (AL).

Moving out from its parking spot at deployment base Kandahar air field for another mission, this dark green C3A. The Herk, once delivered under the US Foreign Military Sales programme (serial 66-8559) and delivered to the RAF in 1967, was immediately assigned to the Lyneham Transport Wing (LTW). The aircraft made its very last flight for the LTW on 18 April 2013 from RAF Brize Norton (UK) to St. Athan (UK) and was then stored at St. Athan. It was there cannibalized where it was last reported in early 2017.

After a lengthy deployment to Kandahar and some local Forward Operating Bases (FOB) in support of ISAF/OEF, these two 33rd Rescue Squadron were prepared for their return to Kadena air base (Japan).
