"The Shadow has a long and proud history in
both special operations and in the United States European Command
theater," [Lt. Col. Scott Hartman] said. "The MC-130P's success is a product of the
talented and dedicated aircrew who flew them and the professional and
extremely hard-working maintenance personnel who maintained them through
their long history."
Since the mid-1980s, the MC-130P has participated in special operations
missions ranging from air refueling of the military's vertical lift
platforms; precision airdrop of personnel and equipment; and the
execution of night, long-range, transportation and resupply of military
forces across the globe.
The Mc-130P will be replaced by the MC-130J Commando II.
