Newly-retired Col. Ed Seeliger, the former 919th Medical Squadron commander, checks out the view from an MC-130E Combat Talon I during its final sortie before it's retired as well. Seeliger spent 30 years in the Air Force Reserve, all at Duke Field. C-130s have been a part of Duke Field for more than 40 years. The last five Talons in the Air Force are scheduled to be retired at a ceremony April 25. They will make one final flight to the "boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., by the end of the fiscal year. Tech. Sgt. Samuel King Jr.)
