Capt. Haley Homan, Train, Advise, Assist Command – Air (TAAC-Air) weather advisor, demonstrates how to use a Kestrel – an instrument to measure temperature, moisture, wind speed and pressure. The Afghan Air Force (AAF) weather forecasters participated in the practical exercise and reported weather observations such as visibility, sky condition and wind direction, which the Kestrel cannot sense. This was a milestone in sustainability and professionalism of the AAF operation support squadron.  he AAF director of meteorology hosted a two-week course at the Kabul Air Wing, Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan, where five Afghan weather officers from across Afghanistan came together to hone their skills and learn new techniques.
