Senior Airman Bambi White, 451st Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, waits for takeoff on a C-130J Super Hercules Dec. 5, 2012 at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. When an aircraft lands at locations with little to no security on the landing strip, fly-away security teams come along to provide additional protection for the aircraft and crew. White's hometown is Pontoon Beach, Ill. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Jonathan Snyder)
