Rescue wing retires aging HC-130
It’s all in a day’s work as maintainers from the 920th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron here replace an HC-130P/N King fixed wing aircraft engine to prepare it for its final flight Sept. 9, 2015. It and five more aircraft from Patrick AFB were flown into retirement at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base's 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, the aircraft retirement "bone yard," in Arizona. For nearly 50 years, this combat-proven aircraft served the Air Force, providing more than 16,000 hours of superior air support for its Airmen in combat, special operations, humanitarian, aerial refueling, and search and rescue missions around the world.
