USAF air assets continued their support of Pakistani earthquake relief operations. A C-130 and one contracted B-747 airlifted more than 133,000 pounds of aircraft parts, turbine engines, tents, and other supplies to assist the Pakistani government. So far, the Air Force has flown in more than six million pounds of relief supplies.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
