Herk Heritage: C-130 Vietnam rescue linked to 19th AMXS Airman

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Brandon Ong, 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron guidance and control apprentice, reviews a technical order at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, Dec. 2, 2019. Ong decided to enlist in the U.S. Air Force after learning how his mother escaped the Vietnam War with six of her siblings on a C-130A Hercules. This was the last C-130 to fly out of Vietnam, which is now proudly displayed in front of the base’s main gate. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Aaron Irvin)
