KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- Airmen here push a "folded" HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter into a C-17 Globemaster III. The Globemaster crew flew two Pave Hawks to Sri Lanka on Jan. 3 to support tsunami relief efforts in the region. Four more helicopters are scheduled to go. Besides aircraft and equipment, Airmen here have loaded more than 145 tons of relief supplies on Air Force aircraft bound for the region. The Pave Hawks are assigned to the 33rd Rescue Squadron here, and the C-17 is from McChord Air Force Base, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Heather Tower)
