SMSgt. Joshua Jay, a 154th Training Squadron flight engineer instructor, inspects the top of the new C-130H #92-0548 NP 2000 on loan to the squadron from the 192nd AS on October 21, 2022, at Little Rock AFB. The NP 2000 is similar to the C-130H model flown at the 189th AIrlift Wing, with a few differences such as the eight-bladed props on the NP 2000 compared to the four-bladed props on the legacy C-130.
