It looks like 🇺🇸62-4139/#PYTHN51, a Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint ISR aircraft, is also part of the 🇺🇸 military aircraft train leaving Afghanistan. I imagine she may have kept an eye on the situation from high over 🇦🇫Kabul as inventory on ground was blown up and aircraft took off. ImageImage
Also part of the train: #GRIMM21/🇺🇸60-0026, a United States Air Force Boeing B-52H Stratofortress bomber, part of the usual daily deployment to 🇦🇫Afghanistan that has been ongoing for months.
