Mississippi Aviation Heritage Museum receives new C-130 replica
July 14, 2021
After having to postpone the arrival of the Lil Bill C-130 replica plane due to transportation challenges, the replica plane has finally arrived at its new home.
Getting Lil Bill loaded up and moved out of Keesler Air Force Base wasn’t an easy task, but now the C-130 replica sits in its new home at the Mississippi Aviation Heritage Museum.
Francisco Gonzales, executive director of the museum, says when he heard Keesler was getting rid of the replica he jumped on the opportunity and contacted the base right away. “We got some volunteers and we went to get it.”
