Five Youngstown Air Reserve Station C-130H Hercules, a Maxwell Air Force Base C-130 and a Dobbins Air Reserve Base C-130 took part in a elephant crawl to YARS's runway on August 10.

After takeoff DARB's C-130 left formation to fly home, YARS's five aircraft and MAFB's one continued in formation to Camp Ravenna's drop zone

YARS, DARB and MAFB had been competing all week in Tac Week, a series of challenges meant for training. The last Tac Week challenge was a six ship tactical airdrop challenge to see which C-130 could get its Actual Heavy or High-velocity Container Delivery System airdrop closest to the Point of Impact.

910th Airlift Wing's 757th Airlift Squadron aircraft 107 won the first round getting their Actual HE airdrop closest to the PI.

757th AS's flagship, aircraft 022, won the second round getting their HVCDS airdrop the closest.

Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 76th Aerial Port Squadron and the 25th APS recovered the airdrops and parachutes between each round.
