Operation Toy Drop is the world’s largest combined airborne operation where Soldiers donate a toy to receive a lottery ticket number that are then randomly drawn for an opportunity to train and jump with foreign jumpmasters over Sicily Drop Zone. Foreign jumpmasters from Poland, Italy, Latvia, Germany, Indonesia and the Netherlands participated in this year’s event. Last year, Operation Toy Drop collected more than 12,000 toys that were donated to local charities and organizations across North Carolina. (U.S. Air Force photo/Marvin Krause)
