U.S. Air Force members of the 156th Airlift Squadron listen to an aircrew briefing before a MAX flight mission involving seven C-130 Hercules aircraft at the North Carolina Air National Guard (NCANG) Base, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Aug. 5, 2017. MAX flight is a term used to describe a mission where the entire operational fleet of C-130 Hercules aircraft and pallets assigned to the 145th Airlift Wing (AW) are utilized in a single event. This MAX flight is special in that it culminates the C-130 Hercules aircraft over 30 year assignment to NCANG Base as the 145th AW transitions to the C-17 Globemaster II.
