Final Chapter

ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska - People crowd around the final 517th Airlift Squadron C-130s welcoming home its passengers and saying goodbye to the past. After 43 years of continuous service in Alaska, the C-130 is leaving to fulfill a reorganization of aircraft basing to make its mission more efficient.
