SOUTHWEST ASIA – Airmen from the 746th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit work on a C-130H3 Hercules during a home station check at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia Feb. 28, 2012. The Airmen work on the aircraft 24-hours a day during home station checks to get the C-130 back into an operational status as soon as possible. C-130s are able to land on both standard and substandard runways, and can also take off in relatively short distances, which makes it useful for specialized missions.
