We had to knock off the ice on the wings before take off. This is the plane we fly back and forth from Kubul and Kandahar. This is the same plane that crashed a few months later killing both pilots and the crew chief and two little girls on the ground when it crashed into their house. What happened was during landing at an airfield by KAF a truck drove across the runway in front of the plane and the pilot pulled power and tried to take off but ran out of runway killing them, there also was 15 other people on board (our guys) came out with little injuries. The guy on my left is my body guard since I haven't been issued my weapons at that time and flew with us in the above plane to Kandahar and back to Kabul. Flying time one way is about two hours.

It looks cold and ugly there. Most of us don't think about the Middle East having a winter like that. Our first thoughts are sand, heat, etc.
Thanks for the comment at Right Truth. I'm working on an article now that should be pretty interesting, on just WHO the enemy really is.
