Here are a few of the thousands from Afghanistan last month. These are the more aviation related shots of the men and women of the Canadian Air Wing based at KAF. (Of course the first shot has Americans in it... but you get the point) I'll post more tomorrow, there's no shortage.

Excellent!
In my view, the fact that these pictures aren't posted on airliners.net only add to their quality.

Here we have the best thread on this forum, by far.

I feel like an interloper here, but I have to say this is the best thread on any forum by a long shot. It's not helping me study for my commercial exam, but the pictures are amazing and the comments very interesting. Cheers.

Those are some fantastic shots. Forgive me for asking but what exactly are you doing in Afghanistan STL? Clearly your on photo assignment but the military has their own photographers. Are you working for a magazine? If so where can I find more of your work?

There's an old DC-3 wreck at the Malcolm Island Airport in the middle of Reindeer Lake. Anyone know the history on it?
