Air Force relief efforts for the victims of the Pakistani earthquake continued this past weekend, with a total of 4.5 million pounds of relief delivered as of Oct. 30. The total amassed over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was almost a million pounds. Among the aircraft participating were USAF C-17s and C-130s and contracted aircraft, including an AN-124 Condor and a B-747.
