The 154th Wing flew the de Havilland Canada C-7 Caribou from 1978-1984. The C-7 Caribou served as a mission support aircraft to transport personnel and supplies. Earlier, the 199th Fighter Squadron flew the Curtiss C-46 Commando, Douglas C-47 Skytrain, and the Douglas C-54 Skymaster. A single Lockheed C-130A Hercules later replaced the Caribou. With the activation and expansion of the 204th Airlift Squadron, C-130H models were received.
The Air Mobility Command (AMC) website has more information about the Caribou. The page has a great set of photographs, including the cockpit and the interior. Link here.
