This year, Center Wing Box (CWB) replacement is required as Lynden Air Cargo aircraft N402LC has reached the 50,000-flight hour mark. According to Lynden Director of Maintenance James Schneider, “N402LC had only 15,975 flight hours on it when we acquired it in 1997 – 26.75 years and 33,396 flight hours later, that’s approximately 1,245 flight hours per year.” #LyndenAirCargo #transportation #shipping #logistics #Hercules #HerculesAircraft #L382 #C130 #aircargo #Lynden #Anchorage #Alaska #N402LC #CWB #CenterWingBoxes https://hubs.li/Q02D1Q2-0
