Spray mission’s future soars in test flight

Master Sgt. Jeff McGhee, an aerospace maintainer with the 910th Maintenance Squadron, loosens a troop door on a C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft from Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, visiting Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, March 19, 2024. Maintainers modified the C-130J-30 to test the operability of the 910th Airlift Wing’s unique electronic modular aerial spray system aboard the airframe as the 910th prepares to upgrade its aging C-130H Hercules fleet to new C-130J-30 models. The project was carried out in partnership between 910th Airlift Wing maintenance personnel and aerial spray specialists, members from the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex C-130 System Program Office, Georgia, and test flight aircrew from Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas.
