A wingless C-130A Hercules arrived at Fort Lee, Virginia, on 19 June 2011, after a twelve-day, 1,500-mile overland journey by truck from Lackland AFB, Texas. The aircraft was delivered to the Air Force's 345th Training Squadron, which will use it to help train Airmen in its Traffic Management and Air Transportation courses. The 345th TRS moved its personnel and operations to Fort Lee, the Army base near Petersburg, Virginia, from Lackland last year, where the C-130A fuselage was used for that same purpose. Two other flightless Air Force planes on post include a C-130E and a C-17 that are used to train Soldiers enrolled in courses at the Army's Transportation School.
