The 86th Airlift Wing, based at Ramstein Air Base near "K-Town" (Kaiserslautern) in western Germany, is responsible for all airlifting requirements of the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE). Since 2009 it is equipped with the C-130J "Super Hercules", distinguishable by its new six-blade propellers. 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.
