A U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules drops a bundle filled with donated goods and supplies to the remote Micronesian island of Fais during Operation Christmas Drop, Dec. 8, 2015. The 64th year of Christmas Drop, which began in 1952, marked the first time international aviators from Japan and Australia joined the humanitarian airdrop training mission where C-130 aircrews perform low-cost, low-altitude airdrops on unsurveyed drop zones while providing critical supplies to 56 islands. In addition to delivering critical supplies to those in need, Operation Christmas Drop provides specific training to U.S. and allied aircrews, enabling theater-wide airpower.
