A Civil Aviation Authority Nepal member and U.S. Air Force 36th Contingency Response Group Airmen attached to Joint Task Force 505 conduct a physical assessment of the runway at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, May 10. The Nepalese officials and Airmen plan to continue doing daily visual assessments to ensure the integrity of the runway remains intact and to identify any additional repairs if necessary after it sustained damage following a magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck the nation April 25. In response to the Nepal earthquake, the U.S. military sent Airmen, Marines, Soldiers and Sailors as part of JTF 505 to support the humanitarian assistance and disaster relief mission in Nepal at the direction of U.S. Agency for International Development.(U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
