An airlift is the organized delivery of military supplies or military personnel primarily via military transport aircraft.
Airlifting consists of two distinct types, strategic and tactical airlifting. Typically, strategic airlifting involves moving material long distances (such as across or off the continent or theater), whereas a tactical airlift focuses on deploying resources and material into a specific location with high precision.
Depending on the situation, airlifted supplies can be delivered by a variety of means. When the destination and surrounding airspace is considered secure, the aircraft will land at an appropriate airport or airbase to have its cargo unloaded on the ground. When landing the craft, or distributing the supplies to a certain area from a landing zone by surface transportation is not an option, the cargo aircraft can drop them in mid-flight using parachutes attached to the supply containers in question. When there is a broad area available where the intended receivers have control without fear of the enemy interfering with collection and/or stealing the goods, the planes can maintain a normal flight altitude and simply drop the supplies down and let them parachute to the ground. However, when the area is too small for this method, as with an isolated base, and/or is too dangerous to land in, a Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System drop is used.

We all make a place in this world
We want our voices to be heard
Everyone wants the chance to be someone
We all have dreams we need to dream
Sweeter than any star you can reach
'Cause when you reach and find you've found someone
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing
The greatest gift this life can bring
'Cause when you look back and know you were loved
You are loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Mean't something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart along the way
You can look back and say
You were loved
You can have diamonds in your hand
Have all the riches in the land
But, without love, you don't really have a thing (no, no)
Will somebody care that you're alive
Will somebody trust you with their life
That's when you'll know (heh)
That you have all you need
You'll hold this world's most priceless gift
The finest treasure that there is
'Cause you can look back and know you are loved, oh
HOOK
So many roads that you can take
Whatever way you go, don't take that road alone
It's better you should know you are
You are loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Mean't something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart along the way
You can look back and say
You did okay
You were loved
So remember to tell that special one
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
