My dad was in the 137th out of Will Rogers. He flew all over this side of the globe in those 130s.
I'm not sure exactly how they work these days. Supposedly they're still "based" out of Will Rogers but they have a brand new, huge building right next to my squadron on the south side of Tinker. I don't know if they're working toward moving all their operations to Tinker in the future or what. I'll have to talk to some of those guys when I'm stateside again.
I have no clue anymore. I understood that the 137th moved out and another unit moved in? Or maybe just the C130s went away to another state and they brought in a military version of a Gulfstream. Probably different by now anyway that's been a number of years and probably several deployments ago.
Their 130s were divvied up between several bases. I think the 136th down in Fort Worth got the Lions Share. All of the 137th's flying is done on the Tankers out of Tinker, but they were maintaining an HQ out of Will Rogers for a while. I don't know if they still are.
On one of my AWACS flights years ago, we were getting ready to hook up with the tanker when we got a call. They had some new boom operators onboard and wanted them to get some practice. Air was a little unsteady and we spent two hours going up and down 100-200 feet at a time.
There were some guys on that flight who never got motion sick in their lives puking their guts out after a while.

Will Rogers ANG has just about dried up since they took the 130's. I was out there from 1981 to 1994.
My father was the wing commander of the 137th when they were at Will Rogers. He had been flying the C130 since the 70's and was sad to see the airlift mission end.
OMG, that scared the crap outta me sitting in my chair, wow. I don't like flying though.
