U.S. Air Force Gen. Adrian L. Spain, left, commander of Air Combat Command, and Staff Sgt. Tory Steen, a loadmaster assigned to the 418th Test and Evaluation Squadron, observe the landscape in the Western region while seated on the ramp of an HC-130J Combat King II, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Jan. 10, 2026. The flight provided Spain first hand exposure to HC-130J operations at Nellis, offering direct familiarity with readiness requirements associated with an airframe outside his primary aircraft.
