USAF C-130 Hercules aircraft from the 156th AS taxi off the runway after a MAX flight mission at the NCANG Base, Charlotte Douglas IIAP on Aug. 5, 2017.

This MAX flight is special in that it culminates the C-130 Hercules aircraft over 30 year assignment to NCANG Base as the 145th AW transitions to the C-17 Globemaster II. [ANG photo]
