C-130 aircrews support remote radar sites

Master Sgt. Jason Allen, right, and Airman 1st Class Andrew Thompson fill out paperwork after delivering three supply pallets to Cape Romanzof, Alaska, Dec. 4. Cape Romanzof is a radar site which is part of the North Warning System, a 2,983-mile long and 199-mile wide "tripwire" stretching from Alaska, through Canada, to Southern Labrador. The radar sites cannot operate without these resupply missions, as many of the sites have no roads in or out. Allen and Thompson are C-130 Hercules loadmasters assigned to the 537th Airlift Squadron.
