Instead of joining the other legacy HC-130P aircraft 65-0987 at The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, often called the Boneyard, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. "This aircraft was chosen to stay here at Moody because of its significant history and accomplishments." and Will Also Be Displayed at The President George W. Bush Air Park at Moody Field in the near future. Starting as one of the first aircraft for in-flight helicopter refueling in the 1960s, it later became one of the three first HC-130Ps to deploy to Pakistan from Moody in support of the global war on terrorism in September 2001. The HC-130P has been an effective aircraft for many years. Each aircraft has a predicted lifecycle, and the model is nearing the end. A total of four HC-130Ps are scheduled to retire Next Year from Moody Air Force Base in fiscal 2013. Replacing them will be new HC-130J models, which are designed to fly longer distances at one time. "The HC-130J model has a newer airframe in order to help sustain the mission" As Moody begins to parts ways with the historical aircraft, it prepares for the future and continues on with the mission.
