A Type 5 heavy pallet is extracted from a C-130J Hercules flying over
Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., on Sunday, April 30, 2006. The mission
was part of a test to certify the aircraft's capability to drop this
type of pallet. Guard, Reserve and active-duty aircrews from Channel
Islands Air National Guard Base, Calif.; Little Rock AFB, Ark.; and
Keesler AFB, Miss., participated in the certification. This was the
first time the "J" model dropped a Type 5 pallet. (U.S. Air Force
