* The first planeload of Afghans and their families landed at Dulles airport in Virginia 

* Flight included 57 children and 15 babies 

* President Biden called it an 'important milestone' for those who served 'shoulder-to-shoulder' with allies in America's longest war

The first group of Afghan translators who worked alongside American troops finally landed in the U.S. on Friday morning with their families after some waited years to have their visas approved. 

A dozen buses filled with 200 men, women and children arrived at Fort Lee in Virginia after landing at Washington Dulles Airport as part of the State Department's Operation Allied Refuge to get interpreters to safety. 

The U.S. started the evacuation flights to speed up the process of giving the translators visas and help them escape constant threats from the Taliban for working alongside American forces.
