Mystery Solved: Keesler Air Force Base Team Solves Riddle of Illness Aboard C-130s (excerpt)

(Source: Biloxi Sun Herald; published April 9, 2015)
By Wesley Muller
BILOXI, Miss. --- For years, a strange problem with the U.S. Air Force's C-130 aircraft had pilots and crews reporting sickness, discomfort and, in some cases, excruciating pain after routine flight missions. The phenomenon remained a mystery until February, when a handful of reservists at Keesler Air Force Base took the initiative to solve the mystery. They made a tiny discovery that's affecting airplanes worldwide.

The problem was with the pressurization system on the C-130 Hercules -- the longest-produced and perhaps most-popular aircraft in military history. The versatile airplane serves as an attack gunship, a troop transport, a surveillance plane and many other roles.

In February, maintenance technicians from the 403rd Wing began a hunt for a solution to the problem. At times, the C-130s' pressurization systems could not be controlled manually or automatically. Cabins would over-pressurize at certain altitudes, causing the physiological problems.

The health effects typically surfaced after the flights. Crew members were on the ground yet still felt as if they were in the air, Tech. Sgt. Fernando Betancourt said. The effects were mostly minor but had the potential to be severe.

"It can be dangerous," Tech. Sgt. Vincent Hawkins said. "We've had people that had nasal-cavity problems, ear problems, excruciating pain." Some would vomit, and others experienced pressure buildup in their eye sockets, Hawkins said. "Flight crews were constantly writing it up, which basically grounded (the affected) airplane every time," Master Sgt. James Rials said. "It could cause excruciating pain to the point you can't function."

The technicians noticed something strange. They were finding tiny metal shards in the pressurization system's air lines. (end of excerpt)
