Spray mission's future soars in test flight

A C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft from Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, lands at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, as part of a flight test of the 910th Airlift Wing's unique electronic modular aerial spray system, March 25, 2024. The flight test was performed to ensure the operability of the spray system aboard the airframe as the 910th prepares to upgrade its aging C-130H Hercules fleet to new J-30 models. The project was carried out in partnership between 910th Airlift Wing maintenance personnel and aerial spray specialists, members of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex C-130 System Program Office, Georgia, and test flight aircrew from Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas.
