...lots of updates at
http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/20 ... in-Georgia
now.
We cannot confirm this at this time but two reliable sources have told The War Zone
that the crew of this WC-130H, serial number 65-0968,
was actually in the process of ferrying the aircraft
to the Bone Yard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.

It is important to note that these details could still change as more information becomes available.
The pictures also help confirm that this aircraft is serial 65-0968, a WC-130H hurricane hunter.
It originally started life as an HC-130H rescue aircraft.
It is interesting to note that during his visit to Puerto Rico in October 2017
in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria,
U.S. President Donald Trump sat under this exact same WC-130H
during a meeting about the disaster response efforts.

You can see the last four digits of the serial, 0968,
clearly on the aircraft's nose in the picture below.
