As one of the longest-running humanitarian airlift operation, Operation Christmas Drop continues to spread joy during the holidays.
The tradition began in 1952 when a B-29 Superfortress aircrew saw islanders waving at them from the island of Kapingamarangi, 3,500 miles southwest of Hawaii. In the spirit of #Christmas, the aircrew dropped a bundle of supplies attached to a parachute to the islanders below, giving the operation its name.
Today, airdrop operations include over 58 islands throughout the Pacific. #HappyHolidays #military
