Minnesota wing receives newer aircraft - Round The Reserve
Citizen Airman, Feb, 2004
With the arrival of four aircraft in November, the 934th Airlift Wing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Air Reserve Station, Minn., embarked on a program to replace its aging fleet of C-130s.
The newer C-130H-2 models will replace the wing's C-130E aircraft, which were built in 1962. The H-2s, which were built in 1991, have more powerful engines along with a better avionics package that includes enhanced flight instruments. In addition, the newer aircraft can fly higher and have a greater range than the older planes.
"The C-130H-2 is a welcome addition to our wing," said Col. James J. Muscatell Jr., wing commander. "The 934th Airlift Wing has established a legacy with the people of Minnesota as we play a vital role in ensuring our country's defense. Now, this momentous occasion signifies another new and important chapter in this proud legacy." (934th A W public affairs)
