C-130 update

I reported in today's paper that the 908th Airlift Wing at Maxwell Air Force Base has inspected all eight of their aircraft.

And this morning, I had an e-mail from Air Force Material Command answering my question on how many were back in the air.

Four of them have been returned to flight and the other four are awaiting replacement nuts. It will probably be a couple of weeks until they get the new parts in and can fix the other four aircraft, Joanne Rumple, a spokeswoman at AFMC wrote.
