U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft from the 156th Airlift Squadron bank away from the drop zone after off-loading heavy equipment pallets over the Palestine drop zone at the Stanley County Airport, New London, N.C., Aug. 5, 2017. The mission is part of a MAX flight which is a term used to describe a mission where the entire operational fleet of C-130 Hercules aircraft and pallets assigned to the 145th Airlift Wing (AW) are utilized in a single event. This MAX flight is special in that it culminates the C-130 Hercules aircraft over 30 year assignment to North Carolina Air National Guard Base as the 145th AW transitions to the C-17 Globemaster II.
