An Mi-17 V5 transport helicopter with an all-Afghan air force crew lifts off from the Kabul International Airport, Oct. 22, 2013. NATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan Mi-17 special mission aviator advisers are stepping back, allowing the AAF to conduct their own missions, setting the conditions for Afghanistan to have a professional, fully independent air force as they take control of security operations throughout Afghanistan. The NATC-A together with the 738th Air Expeditionary Advisory Group work with AAF helicopter mechanics, crew chiefs and pilots every day. The advisory mission is a joint effort between the U.S. Army, the Czech Republic and the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
