Given all the attention that the RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone has been receiving lately, we thought it would be cool to published these rare-ish photos of the bird taxiing around Kandahar airport in Afghanistan. The pictures were published on the secret projects web forum a while ago but you could only view them if you were a member; they've since emerged on the open web at the militaryphotos.net forum.

Notice how you can clearly make out the terminal buildings of Kandahar airport -- built in the 1950s by USAID -- along with a C-17 and what looks like a STOL turboprop airlifter in the background.

Enjoy.
