From Airman Magazine:
“A C-130 Hercules, from Alaska Air National Guard’s 144th Airlift Squadron, flies over Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, March 4, 2017. After 41 years of flying the C-130, the squadron’s eight C-130s were divested, with the planes either being transferred to outside units or retired from service. The unit’s last two aircraft departed Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, the following day. (U.S. Air National Guard photo/Staff Sgt. Edward Eagerton)“

As a former T-56 engine mechanic, I’m deeply saddened to see the lingering legacy C-130s slowly fade off into the boneyard. When the last H model 130 goes to the grave, there will be no real engine mechanics left in the Air Force.

That’s a little sad, seems that’d be a useful plane to have in that part of the world.
