Kyle Favorite, 374th Airlift Wing loadmaster, from Yokota Air Base in Japan, pushes a pallet out of a C-130 Hercules over the island of Fais in Micronesia during Operation Christmas Drop 2011 on Dec. 15, 2011. Christmas has come early to some remote islands in the western Pacific. Care packages full of medicine, food, toys and school supplies have been raining down on dozens of tiny Micronesian islands over the past week with “Operation Christmas Drop,” the oldest ongoing U.S. Department of Defense mission in the world, in its 60th year, in full swing.
