I'm a little iffy on the subject of mentioned the fact that Saeed al-Ghamdi and Waleed al-Shehri (and Mushabib al-Hamlan) were security guards at the airport. Notable fact for this article, or no? Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 17:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

well, we do have the Hooter Calendar Girls under trivia. So, why not.--MarsRover 22:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No mention of the 1999 hijacking?

this is pathetic. we have a list of comedians who visited the place but not one of the tensest plane hijacking situations that happened in the recent past. As always thanks for the useful info. --72.190.105.241 08:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the trivia section is a little much and in need of some pruning. --MarsRover 04:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canadians?

I find it amazing that this article doesn't even mention the fact that a vast majority of the personell currently stationed at Kandahar are Canadian [2500 troops], as has been the case for some time now.--User:Climie.ca

I added a bit about the canadians--MarsRover 04:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New images

I've replaced the b/w image with colored that shows the airport terminal as well as the area around it. I think it's better than before.--PH4crew (talk) 00:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
