Royal Australian Air Force Sergeant Karl Penny, a loadmaster with the 37th Squadron, left, and Corporal Liz Knauer, a supply technician with the 37th Squadron, watch as the parachute of a bundle opens up as it goes toward a Micronesian island during the 66th Operation Christmas Drop, Dec. 10, 2017.
The aircrews airdropped food, supplies and educational materials to islanders 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. David Owsianka)www.dvids.hub.net.
