I discovered that in September 2020, of The Pandemic, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) conducted herbicide spraying over a part of Idaho, claiming that it was an attempt to prevent wildfires by killing Cheatgrass.

The operation was launched from Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB), using a USAF Reserve 910th Airlift Wing (AW) C-130H Hercules ‘Weed Whacker’ out of Ohio. The USAF also claimed that their herbicide mission would somehow not affect the endangered Sagebrush, and they were actually trying to protect the Sagebrush by targeting Cheatgrass.

The spraying took place over the Saylor Creek bombing & gunnery range near Mountain Home AFB.

USAF video explainer, by Staff Sergeant Juliet Louden, how the mission of the C-130H Weed Whacker is planned:

Cheatgrass is considered an invasive species, brought into North America by European illegal immigrants, oops, I mean settlers. Apparently animals do not like to eat Cheatgrass, due to its short life cycle and low nutrition, it is blamed as a major cause for the decline of a bird called Sage Grouse. Once Cheatgrass gets established it prevents native plants from growing. A top problem associated with Cheatgrass is wildfires. It is bad, mmm-kay.

From September 14th through 25th, the Weed Whacker flew 1-hundred feet above ground level, at 2-hundred knots ground speed, dumping 19-thousand-979 gallons of diluted herbicide over 3-thousand-50 acres. The crop dusting over Saylor Creek Training Range takes place every year (has the Cheatgrass become resistant?).

The 910th AW’s C-130H Weed Whacker is also used for spraying insecticides, and oil dispersants onto oil spills. It is the only ‘large aircraft’ used by the USAF to conduct spray missions.

But herbicides are bad, also.

“This is an exercise evolution of the Rally in the Valley 2020 exercise conducted in West Virginia. Our efforts will prepare Reserve and National Guard units to execute at the speed and range required to take on near-peer adversaries. Additional training included combat airlift as well as multi-capable mobility Airmen who are able to refuel and re-arm aircraft in austere locations with minimal support.”-Major Christopher Acs, 327th Airlift Squadron, U.S. Air Force Reserve (USAFR)

13SEP2021 saw a dramatic opening to wargame Rally in the Rockies 2021; for the first time a C-130J Super Hercules intentionally landed on U.S. Route 287, in the middle of nowhere rural Wyoming (near Rawlings)!

So far, all the news outlets reporting this landing are calling it Highway 287 which is incorrect. It is officially U.S. Route 287 (aka US287). It would be okay if they wrote highway with a lower case ‘h’, but they use an upper case ‘H’ which indicates an official title.

Cowboy State Daily’s quick slo-mo video of landing:

Anybody thinking about the Cold War era movie Red Dawn, supposedly taking place in next-door-from-Wyoming Colorado?

Rally in the Rockies is scheduled to run from September 13th through the 16th. It involves 12 military units from various state National Guards and the USAFR, as well as the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The wargame is preparation for combat operations within the United States, for ‘contested areas’!

The first day of Rally in the Rockies also involved USAFR C-130Hs operating from a Landing Zone near Guernsey, Wyoming. The wargame simulating conflict inside the United States involved the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

“When we add these modifications to all of our aircraft, we will greatly increase the reliability and performance of the C-130H, and the overall lethality of the United States Air Force.”-Colonel Justin Walrath, Wyoming Air National Guard’s 153rd Airlift Wing

You can’t count on those six bladed props to tell you that you’re looking at a C-130J Super Hercules anymore. The following pics are an old school C-130H upgraded with new engines and props that might make it look like a C-130J to the casual observer, along with a few other things.

The Wyoming Air National Guard is proud to be the first operator of the first C-130H upgraded with ‘J-like’ components. Wyoming was chosen in 2008 to get and try out upgraded C-130Hs.

The C-130J has six bladed props.

Most obvious change for upgraded C-130H are the turbines and eight bladed air-screws (evil British empire Rolls-Royce T56 series 3.5 with NP2000 props). The modifications took place over 18 months at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas.

Initial testing took place at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Supposedly the C-130H modifications mean various state National Guard units will save taxpayer money versus buying the C-130J.
