The first C-130J Super Hercules was delivered to an Air Mobility Command active duty unit on 13 March. After accepting the new C-130J, Gen. Duncan McNabb, commander of the Air Mobility Command, flew the aircraft to Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, where it will be operated by 463rd Airlift Group’s 41st Airlift Squadron, the third oldest airlift squadron in the US Air Force. The 41st AS, known as the Black Cats, moved from Pope AFB, North Carolina, as part of the Base Realignment and Closure process and officially stood up at Little Rock on 6 April. C-130Js are currently deployed in two combat theaters and are being flown by both US and allied operators.
