    Airmen from the 193rd Special Operations Wing bid farewell to the last EC- 130J aircraft as they embark on their final flight from Middletown, Pennsylvania, Sept. 18, 2024. The EC-130J’s role was to conduct airborne information operations via digital and analog radio and TV broadcasts. It has been replaced with the MC-130J Commando II mission, which flies clandestine – or low visibility – single or multi-ship, low-level infiltration, exfiltration and resupply of special operations forces, by airdrop or airland and air refueling missions for special operations helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft, intruding politically sensitive or hostile territories.
