Heaven shines through

The day's last rays of light shine down on C-130 Hercules assigned to the Puerto Rico Air National Guard's 156th Airlift Wing Jan. 30 at Muniz Air Base, Puerto Rico. Approximately 50 Airmen and two nearby C-130s from the Air Force Reserve's 302nd Airlift Wing traveled to the Puerto Rican airbase to support two weeks of Haiti earthquake relief operations under the banner of Air Expeditionary Force Coronet Oak. In all, the Reservists flew more than 89 hours for a total of nine missions that took them back and forth into the U.S. to deliver more than 80 tons of supplies into Haiti, as well as medically evacuate 19 people.

One by one

Tech. Sgt Barry Burkitt hands package after package to awaiting aerial transporters Jan. 30 at Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The packages were loaded onto a C-130 Hercules at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Fla., and transported to the earthquake-devastated island nation as part of ongoing relief efforts. The C-130 is operated by the 302nd Airlift Wing, one of two wings assigned to the 35th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, which supports Air Expeditionary Force Coronet Oak. The members are deployed in support of Haiti earthquake relief operations, some of which are based at Muniz Air Base, Puerto Rico. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Stephen J. Collier)
