    An Iraqi Air Force C-130J Super Hercules conducts the first Iraqi fixed-wing aircraft landing at Qayyarah West Airfield, Iraq, Oct. 30, 2016. This was the first time a fixed wing aircraft from the Iraqi security forces landed at Qayyarah West Airfield since the base was occupied by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2014. Coalition forces reconstructed the airfield as part of their effort to assist ISF as the seize territory from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Qayyarah West Airfield serves as a logistics hub for ongoing Coalition operations in northern Iraq. (U.S. Army photo by 1st Lt. Daniel Johnson)
