Fuel tank downloaded for future capability enhancement
Tech. Sgt. Dakota Perkins (top right), removes wires connecting a fuel tank to the wing of a C-130H Hercules aircraft at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, May 7, 2024, while Master Sgt. Thaddeus Root (left) and Master Sgt. Chad Conroy (bottom right) observe. The Airmen are aircraft maintenance craftsmen assigned to the 910th Maintenance Squadron who removed the aircraft’s fuel tanks, a rarely performed operation, to store them for potential future use on the unit’s new C-130J-30 aircraft, slated to arrive at the installation this summer.
