A Pope AFB, North Carolina-based C-130E Hercules was retired from active duty on 2 February, with its crew making the aircraft's final flight to the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB, Delaware. Lt. Col. Jeff Brown, the 2nd Airlift Squadron director of operations, flew the aircraft to the museum. Col. Frank Laras, the 43rd Airlift Wing vice commander, was the mission commander. Built in 1970, the Pope C-130 will become part of the museum's display honoring the air mobility contribution to the armed forces throughout American history. The Dover museum is the only museum dedicated to the preservation of military airlift and tanker history.
