Photo Information A specially modified C-130 Hercules takes off from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, Sept. 19, for its initial test flight. The Hercules, from the Air Force Reserve's 908th Airlift Wing, Maxwell AFB, Ala., was modified under the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program which included a comprehensive upgrade of the avionics system that increases situational awareness for the warfighter tenfold over old analog cockpits, dramatically increasing information available to aircrews at a glance, simplifying tasks and decreasing workload.
