on December 29 with more than 100 displaced persons they picked up from the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh. Two Australian C-130 planes delivered humanitarian aid and medical assessment teams to the devastated city after Sunday's quake-triggered tidal wave. One of the most powerful earthquakes in history hit Asia on Sunday, unleashing a tsunami which devastated coastal areas of Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia and tourist isles in Thailand, killing tens of thousands of people.
