103rd Airlift Wing

U.S. Staff Sgt. David Hatch, a propulsion technician in the 103d Maintenance Squadron Propulsion Shop, works on an NP2000 propellor for a C-130 Hercules in East Granby, Connecticut, on Oct.3, 2025. The new eight-bladed propellers enable heavier take-off weights, provide more thrust, and reduce overall propellor maintenance time. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Captain Jen Kaprielian)
