”Breaking タリバンがカブールに迫っています。 合衆国は、在アフガニスタン大使館員の脱出を始めています。火曜日の朝までには最低限の要員を空港に残し脱出を終える予定です。 カブール市内は大混乱で、市民は銀行に殺到しています。タリバンは、無血入城を希望しています。 CNN Newsroom ”
CH-46Eはとっくに退役済みかと思ったけど、国務省所属でダイン・コープ社が運用を請け負っているNナンバーの機体が、現地に居るらしい。

4機有れば、100人ずつ位はカブール国際空港までピストン輸送出来るか……その後は放置の予定なんだろうな。
築城いや、追記；記事をよく読むと、更に2機（CH-46FとCH-46D、各1機）居るようで、150人という輸送能力からみても、6機勢揃いなんだろう。
※150人というのは、取材当時の週6日、150人/日の誤読Orez
