A specially modified C-130 Hercules in flight
September 19, 2006 - A specially modified C-130 Hercules flies over the Texas countryside during its initial test flight. The Hercules, which took off from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, was modified under the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program which included a comprehensive upgrade of the avionics system that increases situational awareness for the warfighter tenfold over old analog cockpits, dramatically increasing information available to aircrews at a glance, simplifying tasks and decreasing workload

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Departing from Lackland Air Force Base, this mighty aircraft underwent an extensive upgrade under the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program. The program's comprehensive revamp of the avionics system has revolutionized situational awareness for our brave warfighters, providing them with ten times more information than outdated analog cockpits ever could.
