Bagram Medics Move Patients:
Airmen of the 455th Expeditionary Operations Group Aeromedical Evacuation Flight at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, have flown, since September 2005, more than 80 missions, evacuating more than 300 patients to facilities elsewhere in Afghanistan and in Germany. The flight comprises approximately 30 personnel, including nurses, doctors, med techs, med logisticians, respiratory techs, and others.
The six-week government shutdown did not affect the hours flown by Air Force pilots, a service spokesperson told Air & Space Forces Magazine—avoiding what could have been a major blow at a time when flying hours are already lower than they have been in decades.
