EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the powerful presence of a US Army Chinook Helicopter as it gracefully takes off from Kandahar Airfield in 2011. Against the backdrop of Afghanistan's arid and mountainous terrain, this iconic aircraft symbolizes the unwavering commitment and support provided by the brave men and women of the armed forces. Kandahar Airfield, also known as RAF Kandahar, served as a vital hub for combat operations conducted by various military branches from 2001 to 2014. It played a crucial role in facilitating an "Air Bridge" between RAF Brize Norton in the UK and other ISAF airborne forces stationed there. This strategic airfield not only accommodated over two hundred military aircraft but also operated RAF, Fleet Air Arm, and Army Air Corps aircraft. Located just ten miles southeast of Kandahar city, Kandahar International Airport was Afghanistan's second international airport at that time. The dry and hot climate posed challenges for both man and machine alike; however, these conditions did not deter our dedicated servicemen from carrying out their duties with utmost professionalism. This image serves as a reminder of the relentless efforts made by our troops to ensure security and stability in Afghanistan during those years. It showcases their ability to adapt to any environment while providing essential support through air transport capabilities.
