Multiple C-130s from Dobbins ARB to fly over Atlanta
DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Air Force Reservists from the 94th Airlift Wing are scheduled to fly proficiency training missions over downtown Atlanta and much of the metro area on July 9.
The aircraft are scheduled to take off here at 10:30 a.m. The unit plans to fly south toward the downtown area and then turn north tracking the Interstate 75 corridor until reaching the Lake Acworth area. A return landing at Dobbins ARB is planned for the early afternoon hours.
“For efficiency, we normally fly one or two planes together at once; however, there is value in exerting maximum effort to fully tax the operations and maintenance crews,” said Lt. Col. Thomas Moffatt, 700th Airlift Squadron director of operations. “The flight crews will be comprised of Citizen Airmen – they’re your friends and neighbors who live and work here in the community while also serving the country as Air Force traditional reservists.”
