Speaking of Hercs in Kabul, the RAAF operated two C-130J's plus two C-17's in there continuously from the get-go and uplifted more than 4000 Australian citizens and others plus we had ~500 Army and ADG's in country. We also operated a KC-30 tanker supporting USAF C-17 ops plus IFR for fighters that provided cover. The RAAF used our two contracted A340's for repatriation flights to Oz
