'Stan Tour - Day 7 - Leaving FOB Salerno; back to Bagram.

The day began waiting for our flight out of Salerno, hanging around the terminal playing cornhole. Ended up taking a STOL flight on a CASA 212 - a beautiful flight over Afghanistan, back to Bagram. In the evening, our hosts at Bagram gave us a tour of the outskirts of the base.

Photo opp outside the FOB Salerno Air Terminal.

Matt pictured beside the CASA 212, a civilian cargo plane.  Notice the rest of the band loading our gear into the rear cargo compartment.

The Afghan farmers really like putting up walls around their compounds.

Here is a short video of the entire Casa 212 flight back to Bagram.  Afghanistan really is beautiful country.

Another photo opp, back at Bagram.  Pictured with "Pritchett's Persuader", a really big gun.

Some local Afghan children, playing outside the fence of Bagram.  They were yelling something at us, but we didn't understand it.  Probably a good thing, as the driver seemed surprised that they weren't using their slingshots to fire rocks at us.
