DCS: C-130J Announcement We are thrilled to introduce the Airplane Simulation Company who proudly present a modernized version of a truly iconic tactical airlifter, the C-130J. The arrival of this four engined turboprop transport will bring a new era of rich logistics gameplay in DCS. Although the C-130 first entered service nearly 70 years ago, the airframe has been continually updated, culminating with the delivery of the J model in 1999. The ‘J’ is a modernized variant that features a glass cockpit, air-to-ground radar, FMS, and computerized airdrop capabilities designed to reduce crew workload. Exciting additional variants are planned in the near future, including the KC versions. This will offer player to player aerial refueling, another first in DCS. Bye Phant

European Based 16th Air Expeditionary Wing Recruits C-130J Crews Who We Are? 16th Air Expeditionary Wing is a small, but crucial part of CJTF-13 Batallion (EU Milsim Battalion). Battalion is aiming for the most realistic and immersive virtual experience in TAW DCS, featuring Fighter Jet, Cargo, helicopter and Control Squadrons. We follow real life procedures as closely as possible, we use strict radio communications and train HARD to get to this high level of virtual flying! This type of flight simming is not for everyone, because it requires a certain type of mindset, fierce dedication and motivation to do it right. If you are looking for relatively short, action packed missions which can be played without much in-depth planning and preparation, then the CJTF-13 is NOT the right place for you. 16th Air Expeditionary Wing consists of one C-130J Squadron: Binational Air Transport Squadron Rhin/Rhein The Binational Air Transport Squadron is the dedicated airlift squadron within the Combined Joint Task Force-13 (CJTF-13). It´s primary focus is tactical and strategic air mobility. The squadron specializes in personnel and cargo transport, aerial delivery (parachute and platform), aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC), humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, airborne insertion and extraction, and logistics resupply. Trained to operate from austere and short-field airstrips, the squadron is proficient in night and adverse-weather operations and in coordinating with joint and partner-nation assets for cross-border lift and reception. The Binational Air Transport Squadron is capable of sustaining distributed forces and delivering time-critical personnel and materiel across a range of threat environments.

Saw the topic about Tinian Airfield Reactivation Video and figure out that it would be nice not only to flash that abandoned airfield but also to make more Transport missions with future release of C-130J. Of course it will require refueling at Midway, Wake or Sand Island? So yeah NTTR - Hawaii - Wake - Guam...
