    A C-17 Globemaster III crew from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, lands here March 20. The aircraft delivered ten pallets of food, water and blankets. This marked the first C-17 landing at the airport since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Members of the 320th Special Tactics Squadron reopened the runway to fixed-wing aircraft March 16 and cleared the rest of the runway to accommodate larger aircraft such as the C-17, enabling larger shipments of humanitarian aid.
