I’m looking at the Google sat view of the airport. Looks like one runway to me. If the Taliban control the south side, they are only 1000 ft or so from our troops and can easily stop everything from coming or going if they choose to. Google Maps says ‘Temporarily Closed’ at the moment.

suicide bombers incoming?
Yes one runway.
Looks like military aircraft parked to the north of the runway, civilian aircraft to the south of the runway.
The Airport is closer to Kabul than I thought. Trying to maintain a perimeter and get out any of the Americans and other Westerners, let alone Afghan allies, is going to be difficult at best, impossible at worst.
Leaving Bagram AB, the way we did, in the middle of the night, is looking to be a colossal mistake.
