A specially modified C-130 Hercules banks over the Texas countryside
Sept. 19 during its initial test flight. The Hercules, which took
off from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, was modified under the C-130
Avionics Modernization Program which included a comprehensive upgrade
of the avionics system that increases situational awareness for the
warfighter tenfold over old analog cockpits, dramatically increasing
information available to aircrews at a glance, simplifying tasks and
decreasing workload. (Boeing photo/Ron Bookout)
