Photos & Video: Military Aircraft Visit Bermuda
Military aircraft visited the island again this week, with the MC-130J stopping by the L.F. Wade International Airport this week. It is not unusual for military aircraft to make brief stops on the island for refueling or other purposes, and for our past coverage of military aircraft on the island, here.
The Lockheed Martin website said, “The MC-130J Commando II multimission combat transport/special operations tanker, assigned to the Air Force Special Operations Command [AFSOC], delivers increased combat performance to the warfighter with its more powerful engines and unique features.
“As it replaces the older MC-130N/P Combat Shadow II aircraft, the MC-130J provides AFSOC with a modern aircraft capable of worldwide employment for missions requiring clandestine single- or multi-ship low-level aerial refueling of Special Operation Force vertical and tilt-rotor aircraft and/or infiltration, resupply and exfiltration by airdrop, or landing on remote airfields.”
