The view from my old office in Kandahar back in the day

I had the best view to be found on the entire base. On this very average morning we've got a classic whirly war-bird UH-1, an ill-fated 747, a 737 freedom bird, and a chartered Dash8. https://preview.redd.it/62n4t1tvu2kb1.jpg?width=4912&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35b649bf1fbf9662efefb6aad96fa8675a3d16db

Had to be later, the National crash in Bagram came out of Bastion, not Kandahar.

>The 747 crashed that day or later? This was taken about a week before that.

Wild. I was in Bagram when it went down, was actually walking out of the chow hall and saw it happen.
