Description: Aircraft #64-0559, an MC-130E Combat Talon I, takes off for the final time from its Duke Field, Fla. home Sept. 18, 2012 moments after it was officially retired from the 919th Special Operations Wing’s inventory. The aircraft, originally reassigned to Duke in 2000, flew to Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., where it will be used on the ground as a fuselage trainer for the 58th SOW’s MC-130 schoolhouse. It was the seventh of 14 Duke Talons to retire and amassed more than 22,150 flying hours throughout its 47 years of cumulative Air Force service. (Courtesy photo)
