[/caption] Just a few days after the Defense Secretary said that air drops of relief supplies would lead to chaos and rioting, the Air Force has apparently changed their mind and launched their first parachute delivery of supplies into Haiti. A C-17 from Nouth Carolina did a 7-hour mission to drop MREs and bottled water into an area controlled by US troops. Approximately 40 pallets per plane are dropped, and military officials are planning an additional 15 sorties for a total of 600 pallets in the next three days. CBS News has video of the airdrops.]]>
