Other bases[edit]

From the article:

"The WC-130 is flown exclusively from Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi"...

I saw a TV report where the reporter, who flew along on a mission, said that they landed and ended the mission in the United States Virgin Islands. Is it possible that depending on the location of the particular mission, that they may temporalily operate from other bases/fields? --Rogerd 16:56, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This should be clarified[edit]

>> Only two WC-130s have been lost during operational missions, H-model 65-0965, on 12 October 1974, and another H-model, 65-0968, on 2 May 2018.

It should be clarified in the article that the second aircraft, 65-0968, was not an operational WC-130H but was employed by an Air Guard unit in the transport role. It had not been a weather recon aircraft for a number of years. After de-conversion some time after 1992, it was with the 105th AS of the Tennessee ANG, and then airlift with the Puerto Rico ANG.
