Guard found errors, saved C-130 unit
Delaware Air National Guard's 166th Airlift Wing was saved because they discovered that the USAF had made serious errors when calculating the military value of the unit and its base.

They discovered that the Air Force personnel who had calculated the estimated cost savings of moving the 166th's aircraft had used wrong assumptions.

The Air Force assumed the crew would move to a new location like regular Air Force units when in reality the pilots, navigators and air crews would have to be retrained.
