JUST THE TIP

OF THE ICEBERG

It’s 20 degrees below zero. Gale force winds sweep down upon the ice of McMurdo Sound from the Transantarctic Mountains. And a C-130 Hercules airlifter, equipped with an unusual ski-and-wheel system, routinely departs after unloading tons of equipment and supplies to America’s most remote Naval base.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Because in the past 30 years, the mighty Hercules has consistently proven itself to be the most versatile, adaptable and durable airlifter in the world. Constantly refined and upgraded with the latest technologies, the Hercules has been used for a multitude of missions configured as everything from freighters and gunships to ambulances and fire-fighting tankers.

What extraordinary accomplishment will this incredible workhorse achieve next?
