SAVANNAH AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Ga. - The 165th Airlift Wing is pleased to announce a significant event in its history – the farewell ceremony for the C-130H Hercules aircraft, which has faithfully served the wing for an impressive 41 years. The ceremony is scheduled for August 18th at 0900 hours in the 165th Maintenance Hangar.
