Three C-130 Hercules from the 165th Airlift Wing begin pre-flight engine checks on the flight line in Savannah, Georgia, September 11, 2022. The 165th AW recently completed the second phase of the modernization process that transitioned the C-130s from four-bladed propellers to eight-bladed propellers. The eight-bladed propellers will deliver more power and efficiency while reducing maintenance. ( Air National Guard photo by Capt. Joseph Truschelli)
