    934th Airlift Wing

    The C-130X, or the Husky, is the Air Force's newest tactical cargo plane. The new x-wing capability doesn't benefit the Air Force or aircraft in any way; it just looks really cool! The Husky features new anti-lock air brakes with two airbags for just the pilot and copilot. The Husky has been showcased with a disco ball, smoke machine, and laser light show in the cargo area to enhance a unique warfighting experience for all parachuting service members. The new C-130X puts the lift in Airlift! The Husky can only be seen flying on April Fool's Day. (Air Force graphic by Chris Farley.)
