Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Capt. Ryan Paquette, 436th Transport Squadron pilot, flies over the Pacific Ocean Dec. 7, 2023, during Operation Christmas Drop 2023 (OCD 23). Under the leadership of the U.S. Air Force 36th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, OCD 23 is poised to be a milestone in the mission’s history as a fleet of C-130J Super Hercules and C-130H Hercules aircraft, along with crews from the U.S., Japan, the Republic of Korea, and for the first time ever, Canada, come together to make a difference in the lives of those in need. Events like OCD 23 provide needed assistance to remote populations while also offering an opportunity to maintain preparedness for real-world emergencies. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt.
