The U.S. Air Force announced in December that the Youngstown Air Reserve Station would become the home of eight new C-130J Super Hercules cargo planes. The new aircraft will replace eight older C-130 Hercules planes in use since the 1970s. The C-130J reduces staffing requirements, lowers operating and support costs, and provides life cycle cost savings over earlier C-130 models. It can also climb faster and higher, flying farther at a higher cruise speed and taking off and landing at a shorter distance. Youngstown ARS was selected based on its mission, infrastructure capacity, community support, environmental considerations, and cost.
