The Air Force continues to support Pakistani-led earthquake recovery operations by airlifting much-needed supplies into the devastated region Nov. 11 to 18.

Five C-130 Hercules, four C-17 Globemaster IIIs, two contracted B-747s, one contracted B-757 and one contracted AN-124 Condor flew in more than 750,000 pounds of supplies.

Supplies included medical equipment, food, blankets, tents, trailers, cargo trucks, vehicle parts and aircraft supplies in response to requests from Pakistan’s government.

To date, the Air Force has airlifted more than 8 million pounds of relief supplies -- on 1,241 pallets -- to Pakistan using 36 C-17, 34 C-130 and 37 contracted aircraft.

Airmen in vital support roles will continue to assist with humanitarian efforts in Pakistan as long as needed.
