Lt. Patrick French, a copilot, and Staff Sgt. Sarah Meadows, a loadmaster, both from the 36th Airlift Squadron, decorate the cockpit of a C-130J Super Hercules by hanging Christmas lights and stockings during Operation Christmas Drop at Andersen Air Force Base, Dec. 10, 2019. The rich history of Operation Christmas Drop started in 1952 when locals on the atoll of Kapingamarangi waved at the aircrew of a passing WB-50 Superfortress, prompting the crew to gather, pack and parachute goods to the islanders.
