More photos for the MC-130J with winglets at Eglin. The short description also mentions a Lift Distribution Control System, which was described in several of the LM fuel efficiency papers. Copy that.
innovator Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Is anyone familiar with the current C-130J ops tempo at Dyess vs Little Rock? Thanks!

Same exact TDYs and deployments. If you're comparing the flying, most will agree Dyess is the place to be if you want to fly the Herk the way it's supposed to be flown. Way better airspace, less brass, less queep, more tactically focused. If you're comparing the locations, one is in the middle of nowhere where people either drive to Dallas/Austin on the weekends or push it up at one of the local bars. The other is in the middle of the Outdoorsmen's paradise with hiking, fishing, and other similar shit to keep you busy. Decide what's important to you and choose accordingly. 1
