Bagram's Liberty reaches milestone
Lt. Col. Jeffrey Alexander (right), Commander 4th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, talks to crew members of an MC-12 Liberty after returning from a mission at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, September 11, 2012. The conclusion of this mission marks a milestone, as it signifies the 4 ERS officially exceeding over 100,000 flying hours using the MC-12s since the unit was stood up in Dec. 2009. 100,000 flying hours roughly equates to 11 and a-half years of flying for one the aircraft. 4 ERS leadership can say they accomplished this feat in under three years using its fleet of MC-12s.
