Dyess Celebrates The C-130 Cargo Plane

April 25, 2011 by Dave Smith

With modern technology, we aren’t accustomed to having equipment last more than a few years. Even in the auto mobile industry, once a car reaches 25 years old it’s considered an antique. One would think the same rules would apply to our military. But when you have a piece of equipment that continues to perform in any situation, why replace a good thing? The Air Force seems to agree with that notion, which is why the C-130 cargo plane is being celebrated this week by Dyess. To give us some history and insight into the plane and the planned celebration reception, we spoke with Lt. Colonel Ken Gjone in this story.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
