130th Airlift Wing — Charlie West WV ANG C-130J
This page was built for one unit. If you flew or maintained the Herk out of Charleston, this is yours.
The 130th Airlift Wing — West Virginia Air National Guard, out of McLaughlin Air National Guard Base at Yeager Airport — flies the C-130J Super Hercules out of Charlie West. The terrain around that base alone separates the crews who know what they're doing from the ones who don't. The 130th has deployed, responded, and delivered, and the people who've been through that base know exactly what it means to fly the C-130J out of the mountains of West Virginia.
HerkyBird Co. was started by a C-130 crew member who spent 25+ years on the aircraft. Every design is checked for accuracy because we know you know the difference. The 130th gear isn't generic aviation stuff with your unit name slapped on it — it's built from scratch for the unit, with the details that matter to the crews who've been there.
