Air Force relief efforts for the victims of the Pakistani earthquake continued this past weekend, with a total of 4.5 million pounds of relief delivered as of Oct. 30. The total amassed over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was almost a million pounds. Among the aircraft participating were USAF C-17s and C-130s and contracted aircraft, including an AN-124 Condor and a B-747.
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
