The 48th is the AETC squadron. I\'m pretty sure the 53rd\'s E models were disbursed to no specific unit, although I believe their airplanes were pooled with those of the 62nd. As I recall hearing, they will eventually become an AMC J-model squadron, along with the 41st.

I imagine the J model has the same four external hard points as most Herks have. I think the tankers have a slightly different set up though.
-
Is that good flying by someone who knows how to fly the Herk, or was it dumb luck that he didn\'t kill anyone?
-
I\'ve got time in a bunch of those airplanes! And right before the wing crack grounding/restrictions came out, broke most of those restrictions!! :ohmy:

Very nice!

I heard from an AK ANG person(take with a grain of salt), they were given a few buildings at PAED already. They haven\'t moved in yet or are just starting to. I\'ve also heard (add disclaimer again) that they are interflying with Active Duty folks. Apparently, they are sharing Herks and Barneys in an associate role. However, the crews are not swapping aircraft types.

The BRAC was flawed- even by the admission of the BRAC Commission members. I\'ll spare everyone of my tyraid on that subject.... Anyhow- I heard the other day that PR ANG wasn\'t BRAC\'ed. I thought they were JCA-bound, but apparently that\'s not the case either. Any ideas what their deal is?

The news media sure loves to sport bash the V-22. :(
-
That\'s an oddball for sure. It\'s got the older wire antennae up top, square paratroop windows and the forward cargo compartment window. Not to mention the radar and of course the laser itself. It must extend downward after takeoff.

I think Nashvilles H2s are all going to be converted to either ACs or Combat Spears. Balto has until 2010 or 11. Their airplanes may be stretched and go elsewhere, but I think that\'s all rumor and speculation at this point. I think Mansfields airplanes are supposed to be X-modded and go to Little Rock ANG, but again, that may just be a rumor.

I saw 1305 down at Depot in June. She looked complete and sure looks pretty as a W-model with the new paint. I\'m sad to see her not be a slick though.
