Members of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing welcomed the newest member of its fleet on 8 February as a C-130J Super Hercules from the 41st Airlift Squadron at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, landed in Southwest Asia. This marked the first time an active duty US Air Force C-130J unit had deployed. The 41st AS moved to Little Rock from Pope AFB, North Carolina, in 2007. While in Southwest Asia, the 41st AS, called the Black Cats, operates with C-130Es from both the 61st AS at Little Rock AFB and the 2nd AS at Pope AFB, as well as C-130Hs from Air Force Reserve Command’s 357th AS at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, to form the 746th AES.
