After the island of Yap in Micronesia was devastated by Typhoon Sudal on 10 April, two C-130E transports, four aircrews and six crew chiefs from Yakota AB, Japan, spent five days flying humanitarian missions to the island. Flying out of Andersen AB, Guam, they flew eleven missions and delivered thirty-one passengers and 102.4 short tons of cargo supporting Federal Emergency Management Agency relief efforts. One of the crews flew in 56,000 pounds of cargo, including four industrial generators to get the island's power running again. Relief supplies included water, juice, baby food, and other nonperishable foods the islanders needed.
