Tanker today, Freighter tomorrow.

Through years of rugged service in war and peacetime, the C-130 Hercules aircraft has earned the admiration of pilots and mechanics all over the world. It's simply one of the most dependable planes in the air.

But it's also one of the most versatile. It converts from aerial refueling capability to cargo handling in hours, and delivers outstanding performance on either mission.

As a tanker, the Hercules aircraft carries 56,000 pounds of fuel on a typical mission—fast enough for mid- air delivery to jets, or slow enough for helicopter refueling.

When the KC-130 is used as a freighter, it can get almost anything almost anywhere. Its 40,000-pound capacity is large enough for tanks and heavy trucks. It can land or take off from runways you wouldn't try with other planes. Even ice and snow.

Best of all, the C-130's impressive performance comes with surprising cost efficiency. That's why you'll find it serving more than 55 governments on every continent, day in and day out, year after year. Getting the job done, no matter what the job may be.
