Lil' Bill Takes Flight

KEESLER AFB, Miss. -- Lil' Bill, a miniature model of the C-130J, was loaded up in support of local Mardi Gras parades. Lil' Bill was built by the 403rd Wing Fabrication Shop in 1999 to enhance community relations and outreach to the public. Lil' Bill will be sent to Dobbins ARB, Marrietta, Ga. to take part in several events throughout the next six months in the metro-Atlanta area leading up to Air Force Week, Oct. 8-14. The Air Force Week program is meant to increase the awareness and support of the public for our Airmen by informing them and involving them in activities that showcase our diverse capabilities and missions, our accomplishments and the sacrifice of our Airmen.
