Bagram AB, Afghanistan

This is part of the flight line at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, they have mostly helicopters and some A-10's stationed there. Bagram sits in a valley surrounded by mountains as high as 18,000' in elevation, not the most enjoyable place to fly into, especially in bad weather at night on Night Vision Goggles.
Some of the taxiways at Bagram are only 40' wide, our main landing gear is 33' wide, that only gives us about 3' of clearance on each side. Not a problem is your a helicopter or fighter.
