March 13, 2007 -- AMC's first C-130J delivered to LRAFB
Ten years ago on March 13, 2007, Air Mobility Command’s first C-130J arrived at Little Rock AFB. It was assigned to the 463d Airlift Group (middle shield). The following month, the 463d AG gained the 41st Airlift Squadron after its transfer from Pope AFB. The 41st AS would be the first active-duty combat C-130J squadron in the Air Force, and this J-model would be the first of sixteen ultimately assigned to the squadron. However, this was NOT the first J-model on base. That distinction belongs to the 48th Airlift Squadron of the 314th Airlift Wing, which received its first C-130J three years prior. IMAGES: The image you see here is of Tail Number 4631 arriving at “The Rock,” flown by AMC’s commander at the time, General Duncan McNabb.
