I went to LSA Anaconda/Balad AB this summer for what was suppsoed to be a short trip (less than 24 hours) to write a story and take photos of the Australian Medical Detachment at the Air Force Theater Hospital there.

We got stranded due to wicked dusts storms and finally left several days later. At least, if we had to get stuck somewhere away from “home,” this was a better base to be stuck at.
