165th Airlift Wing to Lose a C-130?

From the Charleston Daily Mail story:
http://www.dailymail.com/News/201003241001

"The Air Force plan calls for shifting 11 or 12 reserve C-130s from National Guard bases across the country to the Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Air Force officials say they need aircraft to replace aging inventory."

The article states that a C-130 will also come from a Georgia Air National Guard Base, which could only be the 165th ANG at Savannah IAP. There is a C-130 unit at Dobbins, but it is a Reserve unit.

P25 at 165th Airlift Wing

This afternoon while traveling past the Savannah International Airport, I heard unencrypted P25 voice on 165.0125, the 165th Airlift Wing aircraft maintenance net. I'll be listening to see if other 165th AW land mobile frequencies go P25 as well.

Two 165th Airlift Wing C-130s Deploy to Afghanistan

http://savannahnow.com/node/348913

According to the Coastal Empire in Brief section of the Savannah Morning News, two C-130s from the 165th Airlift Wing in Savannah were to deploy this morning to Afghanistan. I was watching the Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix this morning, so I missed their departure. I do know that DAWG 06 was not one of the aircraft deploying because it is working the pattern at Hunter AAF as I type this.
