    Two military personnel are conversing on an airfield tarmac in front of a large Iraqi Air Force C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. One individual is wearing US Army multicam combat gear with a helmet and tactical vest, while the other is wearing a tan/khaki flight suit, likely an Iraqi Air Force officer. The setting appears to be a desert military airbase, suggesting a joint or advisory military interaction.

    U.S. Air Force Col. Rhett Champagne, left, commander, 821st Crisis Response Group, speaks with the chief of staff of the Iraqi air force upon the landing of his C-130J Super Hercules 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 the Iraqi security forces as the seize territory from ISIL. The Qayyarah West Airfield serves as a logistics hub for ongoing operations in northern Iraq. (U.S. Army photo by 1st Lt. Daniel Johnson)
