U.S. Air Force loadmasters of the 36th Airlift Squadron from Yokota Air Base, Japan, wave to people of the Federated States of Micronesia below after delivering humanitarian aid during Operation Christmas Drop, 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.
