West Virginia To Keep National Guard Aircraft
WEST VIRGINIA....
Thanks to Senators Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller and Representative Nick Rahall, all D-W.Va., the U.S. Air Force has canceled its plan to transfer two C-130 aircraft from the National Guard's 130th Airlift Wing stationed at Yeager Airport in Charleston to the Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Byrd, Rockefeller and Rahall had written letters to the Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley opposing the move. This is the second time in five years state leaders have thwarted attempts to remove planes from Yeager.
