Post flight inspection revealed a single point of impact on front pylon right side. TF Rock cancelled flight leg to COP Chowkay due to imminent threat reporting.

The first was on 12JUN08; the second on 20JUN08 and the third incident occurring 24JUN08. Reporting out of COP Bella indicates AAF intent to target RW A/C that transit through the Waygul Valley as well as an increase of AAF fighters moving into the valley. AAF will continue to target all A/C as TOOs and see their engagements as a success until CF are able to PID enemy shooters and cause enemy casualties. ISAF #07-020
