    Three C-130 J-models are about to be unloaded at Lielvarde Air Base, Latvia, June 17, 2014 in part of the exercise Saber Strike 2014. In total, three 37th AS airframes landed on Lielvarde, making them the first ever U.S. Air Force aircraft to land on the runway. The 37th AS aircraft brought approximately 92 Airmen from the 435th Contingency Response Group and equipment needed to build a bare base during the Air Force-specific training.
