S 182nd Airlift Wing Illinois Air National Guard C-130 H3 Hercules, showcasing the diverse range of aircraft present at this military base in 2010. The 182d Airlift Wing is an esteemed unit of the Illinois Air National Guard, based at Peoria Air National Guard Base in Peoria, Illinois. The C-130E model featured in the image is an extended-range development with enhanced fuel capacity and endurance capabilities. It has been widely utilized by various branches of the United States military including US Command, as well as by the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard. Kandahar Airfield holds significant historical importance as it served as a crucial operational hub for combat operations conducted by RAF from 2001 to 2014. Part of this airfield was known as RAF Kandahar and hosted aircraft from RAF, Fleet Air Arm, and Army Air Corps. Additionally, it played a vital role in facilitating airborne forces through its connection with RAF Brize Norton via an "Air Bridge". Situated approximately ten miles southeast of Kandahar city in Afghanistan, Kandahar International Airport (formerly known as Kandahar International Airport) serves both civilian and military purposes. With ample space to accommodate over two hundred military aircraft, it remains one of Afghanistan's largest military bases. This print showcases not only the strength and diversity within our armed forces but also highlights the significance of strategic airfields like Kandahar during times of conflict.
