June 2024

A Nevada ANG C-130 Hercules touches down after a flight performance during the 2024 Truckee Tahoe Airshow.  This is one of two C-130s in the unit equipped to perform drops during the wildfire/forest fire season, utilizing the Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS). Based in nearby Reno, the 152nd Airlift Wing has been operating the Hercules since 1997.  The C-130H was introduced in June 1974 with 308 delivered. Air Mobility Command aircraft now wear this gray livery (Fed Std 36173), also known as AMC Gray.
