Airlift or Refueling

[Flyman]

If you had a choice between a Reserve C-130J squadron or KC-46 squadron and location wasn't a factor, what would you choose?

After doing both during my career, airlift. Nice variety and it was a total blast.

The Herk is awesome and you’ll get a great mix of flying. Formation, airdrop, low level, NVG, dirt strips, airline style point to point with everything from Class B to uncontrolled fields, and oceanic legs.

Beans can be a pain, and we’re the red-headed stepchildren of AMC/AFRES/ANG. 
 

If you like flying with your hands, stick and rudder, the Herk is where it’s at.

What are the beans for the herk? How many days a month do you need to knock them out?

What role do you see the 130 playing globally in the next 5-10 years?

Hahah.

But in all seriousness, running drop missions on the homefront? Running supplies overseas? Medical evac?
