A Sky Full of Hercs

Looks like the Nevada ANG (152AW/192AS) based out of Reno-Tahoe may have or be conducting an ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection). They flushed out eight C-130s on 3/26/2008 using their "Arrow" callsign. And if you would like to see what it looked like, check out the link below for some great Herc pics from Ryan Coulter. Nice job Ryan.
