December, 31, 2004 Phuket, Thailand - Crew from from the 36th Airlift Squadron, 374th Airlift Wing, Yokota Air Base, Japan pushes a cargo of four tons of water with other crew members after landing at Phuket Airport in Thailand. Crew members had to off load the water by hand with the help of the Thai military because there wasn't a forklift that would fit properly inside the C-130. The C-130 is the first of many to land at Phuket with relief supplies. This C-130 has over five tons of water to unload. Yokota Air base has sent six planes to aid in the world wide relief effort to help victims of the Tsunami that decimated parts of Indonesia and Thailand.
