USAF AFSOC has similar system in the works for the MC-130's.

Saw that in the latest issue of Combat Monthly. That's getting bang for your buck.

The Marines are definitely an ingenious bunch. A little bubble gum, some duct tape, 4 hellfire missiles, and BAM!!! an AKC-130J.

Something screwy with that article. VMGR-352 is with the 3rd MAW, not 2nd MAW. VMGR-252 is 2nd MAW and flies the Harvest Hawk, also. The images are of a -352 aircraft, (167110) though. Weird. Either way, it's good to see one of my old squadrons adapting to new missions.

You can never win that type of war.

Sadly true.
