Willow Grove becomes a long-term part of Iraq's future
WILLOW GROVE AIR RESERVE STATION, PA -- During my travels in Africa and Southwest Asia, I received an e-mail from the Public Affairs representative at Sather Air Base in Baghdad. He wrote to tell me two of our former C-130s, 62-1839 (YI-301) and 63-7826 (YI-303), were now part of the new Iraqi Air Force at New Al Muthana Air Base, Baghdad, Iraq. The squadron is currently three C-130s. New Al Muthana AB is next to Sather AB around the Baghdad International Airport.
