The 317th Airlift Group at Dyess AFB, Tex., has received its fourth new-build C-130J transport. The unit is building toward having a fleet of 28 C-130Js by 2013. The new airlifters are replacing the group’s aging C-130Hs. Dyess received its first C-130Js in April. The newest one arrived Dec. 8, according to base officials. (Dyess photo caption by SrA.
