A multi-national aircrew from the Heavy Airlift Wing out of Papa Air Base, Hungary, loads a C-17 transport aircraft with aid supplies and equipment coming out of Orebro, Sweden, for its second mission to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The first load of materials was delivered by the aircraft and its aircrew Jan. 18 to Port-au-Princees main airport. The air relief is being delivered in response to a massive earthquake that struck Haiti Jan. 12. This is the first humanitarian assistance operation flown by the Heavy Airlift Wing since it stood up in July 2009. The wing is a multi-national force made up of Airmen from 12 nations.
