Lockheed C-130H Hercules | | 3" | | 4" |
The Royal Australian Air Force possesses twelve C-130H Hercules transport aircraft, and though they are over twenty years old, they have been upgraded with various modifications. The 'H' version of the Australian C-130 is recognisable by its camouflage paint scheme, and the aircraft is used for tactical transport within a combat zone. This plane wears the distinctive three-coloured camouflage of No. 86 Wing of the Air Lift Group, No. 36 Squadron, a unit based north of Sydney. Designed to function as a troop, medical evacuation and cargo transport aircraft, the C-130 Hercules was first flown on August 23rd, 1954. Built by Lockheed and capable of over 40,000 lbs of payload, this four-engine turboprop aircraft is quite possibly the most versatile tactical transport in existence. Its modern roles include airlift and airdrop, electronic surveillance, search and rescue, space-capsule recovery, helicopter refueling and aerial attack. Capable of takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 has even landed and taken off from a carrier deck without benefit of arresting gear or catapults. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
