====Evacuation of Afghanistan====
On 15 August 2021, USAF C-17 02-1109 from the [[62nd Airlift Wing]] and [[446th Airlift Wing]] at [[Joint Base Lewis-McChord]] departed [[Hamid Karzai International Airport]] in [[Kabul]], [[Afghanistan]], while crowds of people trying to escape the [[2021 Taliban offensive]] ran alongside the aircraft. The C-17 lifted off with people holding on to the outside, and at least two died after falling from the aircraft. There were an unknown number possibly crushed and killed by the landing gear retracting, with human remains found in the landing-gear stowage.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-16|title=Kabul airport: footage appears to show Afghans falling from plane after takeoff |url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/16/kabul-airport-chaos-and-panic-as-afghans-and-foreigners-attempt-to-flee-the-capital |website=The Guardian |access-date= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Cooper |first1=Helene|last2=Schmitt |first2=Eric |date=2021-08-17 |title=Body Parts Found in Landing Gear of Flight From Kabul, Officials Say |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/us/politics/afghans-deaths-us-plane.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/us/politics/afghans-deaths-us-plane.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited |access-date=2021-08-18 |issn=0362-4331}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-air-force/2021/08/16/the-last-runway-out-of-kabul-us-transport-jets-face-complex-evacuation-mission/ |title= The last runway out of Kabul: US transport jets face complex evacuation mission |date= 18 August 2021 |access-date= }}</ref> Also that day, C-17 01-0186 from the [[816th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron]] at [[Al Udeid Air Base]] transported 823 Afghan citizens from Hamid Karzai International Airport on a single flight, setting a new record for the type,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.airforcemag.com/kabul-evacuation-flight-c-17-record/ |access-date=22 August 2021 |publisher=Air Force News |date=20 August 2021 |title=Kabul Evacuation Flight Sets C-17 Record With 823 on Board }}</ref> which was previously over 670 people during a 2013 typhoon evacuation from [[Tacloban]], [[Philippines]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/467793/c-17-crew-members-reflect-on-philippine-relief-efforts/ |publisher=U.S. Air Force |date=19 December 2013 |title=C-17 crew members reflect on Philippine relief efforts |access-date= }}</ref>
