AF.mil features a slideshow depicting a C-17 airdropping palletised cargo over Afghanistan. I have excerpted some of the photos, but you can have a look at the whole thing here.

Chris is most often found flying a desk, but he delights in studying the Golden Age of Aviation (1919-1939). He admires all the pioneering men and women who navigated the skies with nothing more sophisticated than a map, compass and sextant—and the conviction that there was no place they could not reach.
