Two LC-130 tactical airlifters from the New York Air National Guard’s 109th Airlift Wing have flown to McMurdo Station, Antarctica, to support Operation Deep Freeze, reports TSgt. Chris Vadnais. The ski-equipped aircraft are engaged in their annual mission of distributing to remote research posts the cargo delivered earlier to McMurdo by the larger C-17 airlifters.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
