Mr. John:

All soviet remains. However the Afghans destroyed so much it is if we started from scratch. If I had an aerial view you would see all the new construction and patchwork we've done. Heading down south in a few days for new mission. Might be out of the net for few weeks. Comms down range very limited or poor. I'll try to keep you posted if I can. Wearing torso body armor while gone and packin heavy if you know what I mean. Hopefully when I return I can provide details to help clarify??? Will send more pics before I leave.

Have a great day....I am....Airborne!

Bill

Captain Markham,
I received the latest picts and they were great! Especially enjoyed the one showing the CH47 flight line looks and felt very familiar. Was the flight line built by the soviets or did you have to build it when you arrived in country? I think it is ironic that the soviets left Afghan and we are using the facilities they built and we left Viet Nam and they moved in and used some facilities we built.

Keep your butt down and will type to you later.
