| 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.

Carrie Ann reply | | Earl Pribble, e-mail, 30.11.2010 17:30 I was privileged to work on, crew, and then fly the C-130 B & then the E. I ended up as a Flight Engineer and retired in Mar 1974. I believe the Herc was /is the best aircraft ever built. My last flight in Viet Nam, we were actually making drops in Cambodia, to a group of 'friendly forces' in a school yard. They were out of ammo & medical supplies. We went in AT 500' as a two ship formation--I was in the second ship. The first aircraft took only 3 hits. We took 11. But the Herc got us out and we made it back home. As I said, BEST BIRD EVER MADE. reply | | Ricardo Mirabal, e-mail, 19.11.2010 17:13 Parts, whole lot of parts for C-130 at discount prices,preferred

I always believed we were put up there as bait as the Migs on the other side came up to look us over to find out why we were there at that altitude. reply | | Bob Swift, e-mail, 02.08.2010 16:48 How do these phony money scams get on this site.

Stationed at Little Rock AFB, TDY to CCK in Taiwan and Saigon during the war and for 7 years out of Alvin Calendar Field in Belle Chase, LA. Great memories, great flight crews and an incredible aircraft capable of almost any mission to almost any place. Proud to be a part of its history especially for the A, B and E models which I flew.
