The 439th Airlift Wing (AW), based at Westover Air Reserve Base (ARB), Massachusetts, operates the Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy, one of the largest military transport aircraft in the world. As an Air Force Reserve unit, the 439th AW provides strategic airlift capabilities, transporting oversized cargo, personnel, and equipment globally. The C-5M features upgraded avionics, new engines, and enhanced reliability, allowing for extended range and fuel efficiency. Westover ARB, the largest Air Force Reserve base in the U.S., plays a crucial role in supporting military and humanitarian missions worldwide, ensuring rapid global mobility for the U.S. Air Force Designed to function as a troop, medical evacuation and cargo transport aircraft, the C-130 Hercules was first flown on August 23rd, 1954. Built by Lockheed and capable of over 40,000 lbs of payload, this four-engine turboprop aircraft is quite possibly the most versatile tactical transport in existence. Its modern roles include airlift and airdrop, electronic surveillance, search and rescue, space-capsule recovery, helicopter refueling and aerial attack. Capable of takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 has even landed and taken off from a carrier deck without benefit of arresting gear or catapults. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
