U.S. Representative Sam Graves gave his public support Thursday for full funding of the Air Force’s C-130H modernization plan and for the construction of four new ‘J’ model transport planes.
“The aircraft is critical for the 139th Airlift Wing (based at St. Joseph’s Rosecrans Memorial Airport) and its ability to support our military men and women across the globe,” Graves said.
The Congressman, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, is working alongside the Chairmen of the House Appropriations Committee and its subcommittee on defense to ensure the Air Force’s plan is funded for full completion.
