Senior Airman Anthony Schoof, 36th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, releases a bundle from the back of a C-130 H over the Micronesian Islands Dec. 5, 2016. The drop was part of Operation Christmas Drop, a joint-training operation between the Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the Japanese Air Self Defense Force which delivers bundles of donated supplies to the Micronesian Islands. This year is the 65th anniversary of OCD, making it the longest running humanitarian mission in the world.
