USAF WC-130J #96-5300 assigned to the 53rd WRS at Keesler AFB, taxis to its parking spot on April 5, 2022. The aircraft’s arrival marks the first of the squadron’s 10 aircraft that will undergo a makeover of sorts as they revert to the glossy paint scheme they originally started out with in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
