U.S. Air Force Capt. Cerre Dolby, C-130J Super Hercules aircraft commander with the 36th Airlift Squadron, looks to the coastline below during a low-cost, low-altitude airdrop during Operation Christmas Drop Dec. 15, 2017, above Murilo Atoll. Every December, C-130 aircrews from Yokota Air Base head to Andersen AFB. From there, they deliver donated food, supplies, educational materials and toys to remote Pacific islands throughout the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia, and Republic of Palau. These islands are some of the most remote locations on the globe spanning a distance nearly as broad as the continental U.S. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alexander W. Riedel)
