According to the ROKAF, a C-130 transport aircraft and some 30 pilots and crewmembers of the 15th Special Missions Wing departed earlier in the day for Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, where the U.S. Pacific Air Forces will host Operation Christmas Drop from Dec. 4 to 9.
Operation Christmas Drop is an annual USAF tradition of packaging and delivering food, supplies, educational materials and toys for delivery to more than 55 remote islands in the South-East Pacific. The ROKAF has participated in the humanitarian mission since last year at the invitation of the USAF.
“The Korean Air Force will deliver food, medicine and other items necessary for survival to people of more than 10 islands in the Micronesia region,” Air Force Col. Choi Youn-seok said.

Well done, ROKAF! That is much more than the combined Air Forces of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are doing.
