Porterville Air Attack Base 
May 19, 2009 

Assigned Turbo Tracker S-2T Tanker: 76
Assigned OV-10A Bronco: 410

S-2T Tankers on site:  90, 91
OV-10A Broncos on site:  430

When I was there Turbo Trackers 90 and 91 were on site which are normally assigned to Ukiah and OV-10 430 is normally assigned to Fresno.  I was given a nice tour of the site by the battalion chief and the S-2T pilot.  He was very anxious to take delivery of base assigned Tanker 76.

This Lockheed P2V Neptune is operated by Neptune Aviation Services out of Missoula, Montana.
