A .50-caliber machine gun points from the doorway of a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter as the helicopter approaches a mountainside. The Super Stallion is enroute to a Kurdish refugee camp to deliver supplies. The supplies are being provided as part of Operation Provide Comfort, an Allied effort to aid the refugees who fled from the forces of Saddam Hussein in northern Iraq
