Hercules is a drone lifter too
There are plenty of reasons why the Lockheed Hercules (GC-130) is an ideal father ship for target drones; speed, altitude, endurance, pressurized, air-conditioned work space for drone directors; high wing for good ground clearance and accessibility; short takeoff and landing. These same reasons, plus a lot of others, make the C-130 Hercules the free world’s most versatile and useful cargo airplane.
The big propjet airlifter is now operating or being built in 12 different configurations. C-130s have flown more than a million miles since 1957-and will fly millions more in years to come.
