US Central Command Air Forces says that five USAF C-130s, four C-17s and contracted aircraft—two B-747s, one B-757, and one AN-124—flew in more than 750,000 pounds of equipment and supplies last week. That brings the Air Force-orchestrated airlift to more than eight million pounds.
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.
