More 104th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron Kandahar photos released

Yesterday, 175th Wing Public Affairs released the following shots:

The FOD walk ensures that small items are removed from the ramp so they cannot be ingested into the plane's engine and cause damage. (U.S. Air Force photo by David Speicher) Hi-res

Note: Visible in the foreground is A-10C 78-0640.
