    A light gray single-engine turboprop aircraft is parked on a tarmac apron. The aircraft bears the registration YA22415 and Arabic script reading 'قوای هوایی افغانستان' (Afghan Air Force), along with a triangular insignia on the tail. The propeller appears to be spinning, suggesting the engine is running.

    A Cessna 308 taxies down the flightline of the Kabul Air Wing Sept. 7, 2013. Afghan air force pilots assigned to the 373rd Fixed Wing Squadron marked the first all AAF fixed wing combat mission flown from the Kabul Air Wing. Their advisors assigned to the U.S. Air Force, 538th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron, of the 438th Air Expeditionary Wing worked with the AAF Cessna 308 pilots as Coalition Forces draw down and Afghanistan builds up their air force.
