Description
About the Relic & Process
This aluminum fragment originates from an electrical spares stowage box panel (Manufacturer Part No. 1680-00-670-2162) from a Lockheed C-130 Hercules. The C-130, renowned for its versatility and endurance, has been a workhorse for military and humanitarian missions across the globe since its introduction in the 1950s. This particular relic was removed in 1986 during a reconfiguration of the aircraft while it was serving with the 15th Wing, 647th Air Base Group (ABG).

The C-130 Hercules is celebrated for its ability to perform a variety of roles, including troop and cargo transport, medical evacuation, air-to-air refueling, and even weather reconnaissance. The aircraft’s rugged design allows it to operate from short, unprepared airstrips, making it invaluable in both combat zones and disaster relief efforts. Throughout its long service, the C-130 has undergone numerous upgrades and reconfigurations to meet evolving mission requirements, and this relic reflects the adaptability and continued service of these aircraft.
