Chief Petty Officer Alex Lymber and Tech. Sgt. Scott Hirschenberger help Afghan National Army Air Corps helicopter crew chiefs unload helicopter blades from a cargo plane Dec. 5. The blades are part of a shipment of three refurbished MI-17 helicopters donated to the ANAAC by the Czech Republic. Lymber and Hirschenberger are both mentors from the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan and teach the Afghan crew chiefs proper safety procedures, aircraft handling and maintenance.
