317th Airlift Wing — Dyess AFB C-130J
This page was built for one unit. If you flew or maintained the Herk out of Dyess, this is yours.
The 317th Airlift Wing — active duty USAF, Air Mobility Command, Dyess Air Force Base, Abilene, Texas — is the largest C-130J wing in the Air Force. Tactical airlift at scale, with crews that have put in the hours across every contingency AMC has thrown their way. Dyess is a serious base and the 317th is a serious wing.
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 317th 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.
