C130Hcc Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The link below takes you to an article on the MN Reserves. There is also a pretty good video on the right side once you get through the advertising........... It brings in nearly 60 million dollars into the local economy, employs more than 1300 people and that\'s just the beginning. You can find the Air Force Reservists stationed at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, and these days reserve is an understatement. \"It is a little bit slower than most of the other airplanes,\" said Captain Chris Rieland about the C-130 airplane he pilots.

Guest cobra935o Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I saw this on the news the other night, I rarely get home in time to watch the news, so it was funny that I made it home in time to see this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I just watched the video. I guess I\'ve been out of the military for waaaay too long. Bose headsets? What ever happened to those cheap gray headsets that we used to wear? Then, when I flew commercial Hercs, I thought the David Clark headset was state of the art. I probably couldn\'t even give mine away now! Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wysongj Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I never liked the way the Bose fit. I wore my D.C.s until I left. Still have them hanging up in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomhauer Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 They neglect to mention that the MN ANG 133rd AW \"Gophers\" has 8 more C-130 H3s right next door to the 934th AW \"Vikings\", and I believe the two units now share a joint command post. The Bose headsets are lighter and more comfortable than the David Clarks, and the ENC is great. I prefer David Clarks for airdrops as their earcups are sealed which reduces drumming with the ramp & door open. Now if somebody could only come up with a decent \"lip light\" for the Bose...
