| The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop aircraft that serves as the main tactical airlifter for military forces worldwide. Capable of landing and taking off from short or unprepared runways, it was designed as a troop transport and cargo aircraft, but is now also used for a wide variety of other roles, including airborne assault, weather reconnaissance, aerial refuelling, aerial firefighting and MEDEVAC. More than 40 different models of the Hercules - including several gunships - are used by more than 50 nations.
The C-130 family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 50 years of service, the family has established a solid record of reliability and durability, participating in military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.

Being a former recip. mech the power of the Herc really impressed me. As am FE & IFE, I initially flew missions to Europe, Africa and West Asia; then at least one, if not two, missions to Nam per month for the better part of three years. Even squeezed in a Resupply to NORD (Danish Weather Station in Upper Greenland)to boot. Have nothing but fond memories of the Herc's durability and stamina. The C-130 series stands as a fitting tribute to Lockheed Aircraft Co. reply | | GARY BROWN, e-mail, 20.08.2011 21:00 I was in the 1370 Photo Mapping Wing for 5 years.
