Herk Heritage: C-130 Vietnam rescue linked to 19th AMXS Airman

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Brandon Ong, 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron guidance and control apprentice, closes the paratrooper door on a C-130J Super Hercules at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, Dec. 2, 2019. After Ong learned how his mother and six of her siblings escaped the Vietnam War on a C-130A Hercules, he knew he wanted to join the Air Force and work on C-130s.
