| 説明 | OHAKEA, New Zealand -- Front: Royal New Zealand Air Force Flight Lt. Jimmy Davidson (left), a pilot for RNZAF 40 Squadron, reviews the pending flight path with Republic of Singapore Air Force's Maj. Jeff Lee as U.S. Air Force Capts. Daniel Hartung and Christopher Blake conduct preflight checks prior to a night tactical-airdrop sortie Nov. 23 during Exercise Kiwi Flag at RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand. Lee joined the aircrew for a subject matter exchange on a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III during the multilateral RNZAF-sponsored tactical airlift exercise. Lee is the detachment commander for the RSAF contingent deployed to KF. He is assigned to 122 Squadron at home station in Singapore. The U.S. pilots are deployed to the 517th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron which comprises two C-17s and Airmen from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The deployed U.S. team is conducting airlift support and cargo and personnel airdrops for the exercise in conjunction with Pacific military partners from New Zealand, the Republic of Singapore, Australia and New Caledonia. Blake, a Los Angeles native, and Hartung, from Seattle, are deployed from the 517th Airlift Squadron at JBER. Blake is the support flight commander; Hartung is the squadron operations controller. Kiwi Flag personnel are supporting Exercise Southern Katipo -- held in New Zealand’s South Island -- by managing air operations and providing cargo and passenger airlift including tactical air drops to SK participants. SK hosts nine countries involved in air, land and maritime operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt. Denise Johnson/Released) |
