Next week, the C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft of the Michigan Air National Guard’s 127th Wing will depart their home at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, reports the Detroit News. The Herk Air Guardsmen are training to fly and maintain the KC-135 tankers they are picking up from Air Force Reserve Command’s 927th Air Refueling Wing, which also leaves Selfridge.
