RAAF C-130s tested at Air Warrior II

29 April 2010

A true test of combat air mobility skills is coming for Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) C-130 Hercules aircraft and crews on their way to Exercise Air Warrior II.

Held out of Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas from April 18-26, Air Warrior II will see personnel support and fly the Hercules in a simulated frontline environment to deliver troops and cargo.

A C-130H and C-130J Hercules from No. 37 Squadron departed RAAF Base Richmond for the exercise on April 13.

A contingent of 88 Australian personnel will participate alongside their US military counterparts.

Air Warrior II features day and night-time missions which take place in a training area filled with airstrips, drop zones, and a host of simulated enemy threats.
