Eighteen hours at sea

Simply outstanding.

That's how to describe C-130 Maritime Patrol Hercules performance. It enforces maritime laws and treaties. It conducts search and rescue missions and protects the marine environment. It can stay aloft without refueling for 18 hours and patrol 3,100 nautical miles at a low, 5,000-foot surveillance altitude. And the Maritime Patrol Hercules search radar can monitor 160,000 square nautical miles in a single flight. But this remarkable aircraft isn't limited to sea duty. In addition to its visual and electronic surveillance capabilities, it can airlift up to 43,000 lbs. of cargo or personnel—and put them down safely on almost any runway, from sand and gravel to dirt and snow. Best of all, the C-130 Maritime Patrol combines its rugged versatility with surprising cost efficiency. That's why the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, and many countries have operated more than 100 Hercules aircraft in maritime patrol missions for over 20 years. It's also why you'll find this version of the C-130 completing successful missions day and night, in every imaginable weather and climate condition, all over the world.
