A Jolly Farewell to Flight Engineers
Staff Sgt. Thelmo Andre Garrucho, 36th airlift squadron C-130 H flight engineer, stands in front of a C-130 H during Operation Christmas Drop at Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, 16 Dec., 2016. Since its inception, the C-130H cockpit crew has consisted of four members: pilot, copilot, navigator and flight engineer. With technological advances and the release of the C-130’s newest iteration, the C-130 J, that classic combination is changing. Automated functions have taken over the roles of the flight engineer and the navigator on the J-model.
