The Air Force continued its assistance for earthquake relief efforts, with a USAF C-17 and a contracted B-747 flying in more than 235,000 pounds of medical supplies, clothing, rations, aircraft parts, vehicle parts, construction materials, batteries, water pumps, generators, and power units. As of Nov. 9, the Air Force has transported more than seven million pounds of relief supplies to Pakistan since relief operations began in October.
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.
