Bagram cargo yard shot shows A-10Cs in the background

By Joachim Jacob, Warthog News Editor

Already on May 5, 2012, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs released the following photo as part of their news article Joint communication vital to Bagram RIP/TOA. Today, I took a closer look on this shot, and I realized that there are also pictured some A-10Cs, parking in revetments at their flight line in the background - visible just behind the C-17A Globemaster III and the civilian cargo aircraft. Enjoy!

The cargo yard is a flurry of activity during the 1st Infantry Division’s Relief in Place/Transfer of Authority at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, March 20, 2012. The RIP/TOA allowed the 1st Infantry Division to take over the dealings with the Afghan National Security Forces, helping to maintain security in the region.
