Three C-130s from Japan, Australia and the U.S. line the runway as they are loaded for the day’s Operation Christmas Drop missions Dec. 9, 2015, at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. Australian and Japanese C-130 aircrews joined U.S. Airmen during the 64th year of Operation Christmas Drop – a Humanitarian Aid/Disaster Relief training event where C-130 crewmembers perform low-cost, low-altitude airdrops on unsurveyed drop zones while providing critical supplies to 56 islands throughout the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia and Republic of Palau. It highlights the U.S. and allied airpower capabilities to orient and respond to activities in peacetime and crisis. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Airman 1st Class Alexa Ann Henderson)
