C-12s keep long-range radar sites, remote areas functioning

U.S. Air Force pilot 1st Lt. Keith Schaper, a native of Arcadia, Fla., assigned to the 517th Airlift Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, performs a pre-flight inspection on a C-12F Huron, Oct. 22, 2020.

Oct. 23, 2020 - Everyone on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson has seen the F-22 Raptors soaring above the installation. Most see the C-17 Globemaster IIIs on a regular basis.

But unless you work near the flightline, you may never notice the small C-12 Hurons coming and going, despite their extensive work in the Last Frontier. One of JBER's critical missions is supporting the long-range radar sites around the state – remote outposts which protected America and Canada in the Cold War, and which continue their mission today.
