Crash Central

This facility is located just off the runway here, and the monstrous crash trucks are ready to head out if there is ever an emergency need anywhere along the flightline.

The ‘building’ is a huge tent called a clamshell due to its shape – you can get an idea of scale by checking out the soldiers on the lower right.

Just another site to see in Shindand…

By the time this post hits the ‘net I will have left Shindand, and Kandahar, and probably Dubai, and be out and about outside of Afghanistan in R&R status!  Not heading to the States this time though – Justin and I will be meeting in Europe for a totally brill holiday.  Stay tuned for more tales from afar…
