摘要

A reporter accompanied an Air Force crew on a recent "airland" delivery, meaning the C-130 set down at a small runway, taxied to a revetment constructed of old conex containers, unloaded its cargo, and make a swift departure. The area was considered "hot," and the pilot made a series of highly aggressive turns in making his descent, so enemies on the ground would have as small and unpredictable a target as possible.
