Ramstein C-130J flies over Germany

A C-130J Super Hercules assigned to Ramstein Air Base flies over Germany during a training mission, Aug. 24, 2011. The fuel efficient C-130J infuses modern technology into the recognizable shape of older C-130 models; creating an aircraft that flies farther and faster at higher altitudes with a greater payload of people or equipment.
