Flyman Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 If you had a choice between a Reserve C-130J squadron or KC-46 squadron and location wasn't a factor, what would you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herkbum Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 After doing both during my career, airlift. Nice variety and it was a total blast. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBueno Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 The Herk is awesome and you’ll get a great mix of flying. Formation, airdrop, low level, NVG, dirt strips, airline style point to point with everything from Class B to uncontrolled fields, and oceanic legs. Beans can be a pain, and we’re the red-headed stepchildren of AMC/AFRES/ANG. If you like flying with your hands, stick and rudder, the Herk is where it’s at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many days a month do you need to knock them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyman Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hahah. But in all seriousness, running drop missions on the homefront? Running supplies overseas? Medical evac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
