A U.S. airman works on a C-130J Super Hercules on the flightline as the sun begins to set on Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Dec. 28, 2015. The C-130J incorporates state-of-the-art technology to reduce manpower requirements and lower operating and support costs. The aircraft's improved engines enables the J model to climb faster and higher, fly farther at a higher cruise speed, and take off and land in a shorter distance. U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
