Operation Christmas Drop is a tradition that serves as a training mission for the United States Air Force which started in 1952. It has since become the longest running United States Department of Defense mission in full operation, and the longest running humanitarian airlift in the world.

And a good advertisement - for 0.0001 % of the military budget.

Great little story - nice that it's the oldest operation.
