Tail flash
The sun shines off the tail of 64-0559, an MC-130E Combat Talon I on the Duke Field flightline. 0559 is just one of four aircraft scheduled to be retired by the end of fiscal year 2012 as part of the 919th Special Operations Wing’s remissioning. Eventually, all of the Talons will disappear from the Duke flightline and will be replaced by an aviation foreign internal defense aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Samuel King Jr.)
