We drop them off at Robins AFB, GA. They get stripped down, checked, updated and then we fly out to pick up and put back to work. This round we picked up AMC's first C-130J with external fuel tanks. On top of that, it has our new paint scheme which removes all distinguishing markings except the US flag on the tail and a subdued roundel aft of the wings. About the flight suits: We are wearing two-piece Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) Nomex Flight Suits. Same general cut and pattern as the single-piece green flight suits. Choice of which to wear is up to the individual. I personally find having pants and taking the top off while pushing pallets in hot and humid climates during an Engine Running Onload to be more comfortable. Less of a status uniform and more of a utility uniform. But it's all personal preference and many still prefer the old PJs. Gloves are nearby (my pocket) but not required in flight.
