A unique Air Force label honoring the Berlin Airlift’s original "Candy Bomber," Air Force Col. Gail S. “Hal” Halvorsen, with a piece of candy, was affixed to each present during Pope Field's annual Operation Toy Trot 5K race here Dec. 3. The toys were donated in support of the annual Randy Oler Memorial Operation Toy Drop scheduled for Dec. 5-7. Over 150 service members dressed in holiday and fitness attire, donated toys and competed in the 5K race around the Pope Field flight line to help kickoff this year’s U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command’s (Airborne) annual Operation Toy Drop. Over its 17-year span, Operation Toy Drop has collected and distributed thousands of toys for children in the Sandhills, N.C., area. (U.S. Air Force photo/Marvin Krause)
