David Uplinger 1-228th Aviation Regiment flight engineer and a Honduran troop watch the trees slip by the door of a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook Dec. 17, 2015, as they fly over the Gracias a Dios Department (state) of Honduras. The airlift for the troops is a result of a request for assistance to help disrupt the flow of drugs in the region by the Honduran president in October 2014. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt.
