U.S. Air Force Maj. Chase Hessman, a pilot with the 36th Airlift Squadron from Yokota Air Base, Japan, reviews the fuel plan from the cockpit of a C-130J Super Hercules during Operation Christmas Drop 2024 off the coast of Guam, Dec. 13, 2024. OCD is the Department of Defense's longest-running humanitarian airlift mission, beginning in 1952 when a U.S. Air Force B-29 aircrew noticed islanders waving from below and decided to drop supplies as a gesture of goodwill.
