Family members of Kentucky Air Guardsmen exit the 123rd Airlift Wing's Mini C-130 after an orientation "flight" Oct. 23, 2011, during the wing's annual Family Day celebration in Louisville, Ky. The Mini C-130 is a scale replica of the Hercules transport aircraft, built on a golf-cart chassis and propelled by a 27-horsepower gasoline motor. Although incapable of flight, it can reach speeds of up to 20 mph, features working propellers, a functional cargo door, a UHF radio, a high-powered stereo system and seating for up to a dozen passengers. The replica was built from scratch by the Airmen of the Kentucky Air Guard's 123rd Maintenance Squadron. (U.S. Air Force by Maj. Dale Greer)

The 123rd Airlift Wing is the only unit in the U.S. military with all the necessary capabilities, housed in a single location, and the aircraft to transport them on short notice.
