Shot from inside the cargo bay and out of the back of a German C-160 Transall cargo plane. A pallet of 100-pound bags of foodstuff has just been dropped out the back of the aircraft. In the background other pallets of foodstuff are seen hitting the ground. The aircrew is performing a low-level mission over a remote location in Somalia. The drops are conducted at less that 100 feet off the ground as the pallets fall without the aid of a parachute. The pallet rigging breaks apart on impact and absorbs most of the shock from the airdrop. German aircrews claim a success rate of 85% using this method of insertion. This mission is in direct support of Operation Restore Hope
