The EC-130J is a modified C-130J Super Hercules used to conduct psychological operations (PSYOP) and civil affairs broadcast missions in the standard AM, FM, HF, TV and military communications bands. Missions are flown at the maximum altitudes possible to provide optimum propagation patterns. The Commando Solo III is operated exclusively by the Air National Guard, specifically the 193rd Special Operations Wing (193rd SOW), a Pennsylvania Air National Guard unit operationally gained by the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). The 193rd SOW is based at the Harrisburg Air National Guard Base (formerly Olmstead AFB) at Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, Pennsylvania.
In this image, an EC-130J Commando Solo III (serial number: 00-1934), call sign “Reach 1024,” climbs up to broadcast altitude. The EC-130Js participated in Operation Odyssey Dawn, warning Libyan ships to remain in port and flying jamming missions against the Islamic State in Iraq. Earlier iterations of the EC-130 include the EC-130E ABCCC (Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center) and EC-130E Commando Solo, which entered service in 1978 with the Tactical Air Command (TAC) in 1978. The EC-130H Compass Call was an electronic warfare variant. The US Navy used EC-130G and EC-130Q, equipped with VLF transmitters, to communicate with ballistic missile submarines from 1963 to 1993.

The Lockheed EC-130 is a modified C-130 Hercules used to conduct psychological operations (PSYOP) and civil affairs broadcast missions in the standard AM, FM, HF, TV and military communications bands. Missions are flown at the maximum altitudes possible to ensure optimum propagation patterns. The EC-130 flies during either day or night scenarios with equal success, and is air-refuelable. A typical mission consists of a single-ship orbit which is offset from the desired target audience. The targets may be either military or civilian personnel. The Commando Solo is operated exclusively by the 193d Special Operations Wing, which is based at the Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, Pennsylvania.
Other EC-130 variants include ABCCC and Compass Call. The ABCCC is an Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center used as an airborne command post. Last, but not least, Compass Call is an airborne communications jamming platform. It was used extensively in the Gulf War disrupting Iraqi communications at both the strategic and tactical levels.
For 30 years, from December 1963 to August 1993, the US Navy EC-130Q kept silent watch over America. For almost 20 years they flew non-stop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week "Just in Case".
The Lockheed EC-130Q is capable of communicating with submerged submarines.
The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), often called The Boneyard, is a United States Air Force aircraft storage and maintenance facility in Tucson, Arizona, located on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

An Air Force Material Command unit, the group is under the command of the 309th Maintenance Wing of Hill Air Force Base, Utah. AMARG was originally meant to store excess Department of Defense and Coast Guard aircraft, but has in recent years been designated the sole repository of out-of-service aircraft from all branches of the US government.
Tom was pretty fluent in Vietnamese and was one of two PSYOPS (psychological operations) personnel assigned to the team while I was there. He was a graduate of Notre Dame. Tom, Earl Funk (from the 261st Signal Bn.) and I were roommates for a time. Believe he was from Indiana and Earl was from Illinois.
Tom went home in early Jan, 1971. Can't remember if Earl was still there or not, believe he was.
