Much to see on this picture, taken from a Dash 7, just before touch-down, the pilot made a classic high key landing. On the left below, 2x Blackwater 212s were awaiting take-off. Just left of that (from low to high) a RAF Herc and a Royal Navy Sea King can be seen, then a bunch of Thunderbolt IIs, some closed unmanned aerial system clamshells, then USSOCOM with 3x MH-47Gs and 4x MH-60s, again 2x RAF Hercs, then the civil platform, the control tower, a Herc on the visitors platform, massive rows of Blackhawks and Chinooks. On top, 2x US Army Dash 7s and a Mi-26, several Chinooks and DOSAW UH-1s
