Did you know there is another C-130 to see, just around the corner from the museum? We love our friends at the 109th Airlift Wing and their commitment to preserving aviation history! ❤️

Recently, a team of volunteer Airmen gave the aircraft new life, carefully restoring its distinctive gray-and-orange paint scheme while preserving an important piece of the wing's history.
