Waiting is a difficult job

The last two legacy, or “H” model C-130 aircraft assigned to the 913th Airlift Group sit on the ramp at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., Feb. 10, 2016. Many of these active and Reserve aircraft are being replaced by the C-130J Super Hercules, a comprehensive updated version with new engines, flight deck and other systems designed to improve performance and save money. These two aircraft are waiting to be transferred to other locations. Afterwards, the 913 AG will no longer be designated an “active association,” with their own Reserve aircraft, but a “classic association,” where they’ll work side by side with active duty Airmen on their C-130J model aircraft. The 913 AG will be the first C-130J model classic association in the Air Force. (U.S. Air force photo by Master Sgt. Jeff Walston/Released)

C-130J

The 913 Airlift Group is transitioning from the C-130H to C-130J. The C-130J is the latest addition to the C-130 fleet and incorporates state-of-the-art technology, which reduces manpower requirements, lowers operating and support costs, and provides life-cycle cost savings over earlier C-130 models. Compared to older C-130s, the J model climbs faster and higher, flies farther at a higher cruise speed, and takes off and lands in a shorter distance. The C-130J-30 is a stretch version, adding 15 feet to the fuselage, increasing usable space in the cargo compartment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Scott Poe)
