AF Reserve, Active Duty counterparts perform rare, six aircraft flyover
Six Air Force Reserve C-130 Hercules roll down the taxiway June 5 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. After performing practice air drops over eastern Colorado, each of the aircraft joined together for a multi-ship formation flight over the base. Later, the six C-130s simulated tactical air drops at the Red Devil tactical airstrip at nearby Ft. Carson. Typically, C-130 wings in the AF Reserve only fly in multi-ship formations once or twice a year to simulate combat conditions while flying in close formation. Five of the C-130 aircrews are assigned to the 302nd Airlift Wing at Peterson AFB, which included both AF Reserve and Active Duty Airmen. The final aircraft and aircrew were assigned to the 94th Airlift Wing, based at Dobbins Air Reserve Base outside of Atlanta. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Daniel Butterfield)
