Are there any C-130 types dropping these days or are they grounded
for structural reasons?

I think there has been some limited use of the C-130A overseas this summer.

Possibly some ANG MAFFS equipped C-130 (not sure which model) saw action this
summer but not sure where and when.

Some retired C-130Es are desperately needed for the upcoming seasons, if the
DoD would release any out of AMARC. Or even some P-3As could be put to use.
Aero Union flies them currently.
