Disaster has struck with the first Air Force News issue of the year. The issue is dedicated to a scenario of what happens during our immediate response to a tropical cyclone devastating a Pacific Island. It takes you on a 24-hour journey from the first planning meetings, to the Orion surveillance flight of the island and ending with a Hercules lifting off with a plane-load of immediate disaster aid – and every step in between. Take a behind-the-scenes look at how the Air Force jumps to action to ensure the delivery of much-needed aid reaches the people who need it most.
