C-17 Airdrops in Haiti

I saw this mentioned briefly on BBC. I can't imagine what kind of DZ the military opened up in Haiti, but these must be some pretty hair-raising missions. Good job, guys.

Who I Am

I am a Captain in the United States Air Force and a C-17 pilot. I have a Master's Degree in International Relations, studied Arabic at the Defense Language Institute, and am currently furthering my graduate studies in Amman, Jordan. My wife is an educator with a heart for social justice and racial reconciliation. Together we feel called to the business of peacemaking. We do not believe peacebuilding is easy. It is hard, and false idealism is dangerous. But we believe that the small, incremental actions of dedicated individuals can, in the long run, build a better world.

I also believe in openness, transparency, and the power of new media to improve decision-making processes and create better policy. This blog chronicles my own development as an officer and is my contribution to the marketplace of ideas.

Reach 364 was the callsign of my first international mission as a C-17 Aircraft Commander.

These are my personal views and do not reflect the position of the Air Force or the US government.
