All the old WC-130H ( Weather Hercs ) are replaced by WC-130J's. After that they put the WC-130H's to the ANG units for operational support airlift , as all the units has to give up there C-130H's to the active USAF units because of a shortage of aircraft during the "war on tertorism".

Where's that one hiding then? :whistle:

Nice machines, of course 2667 is no stranger to Mildenhall being the old 10 ACCS crew trainer for a number of years in the late eighties/early nineties. Nice post :clap:
