U.S. Air Force Maj. Caleb Nimmo, Mi-35 team lead assigned to the 440th Air Expeditionary Advisor Squadron, exits an Mi-35 HIND E after returning from a live-fire traiing mission, May 11, at Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan. "These Afghans are true patriots and I will probably look back on this assignment as the defining moment of my career," Nimmo said. "The Mi-35 is an icon in the helicopter world, the Air Force uses the Mi-35 as the aggressor at their Red Flag weapons school at Nellis Air Force Base in Nev., and the Marine Corps uses it at the Marine Corps Air Weapons and Tactics School in Yuma, Ariz. I get to employ it as a part of a team, which puts the Afghans in the fight and helps them earn the security their country richly deserves."
