HERCULES TO THE RESCUE
Eighteen hours can be a long workday. There are not many aircraft with that kind of endurance. But eighteen hours is even longer to those who are lost, hurt, and trying to stay alive; or for those at home, waiting for word.
That's why it's vital to have the C-130 Hercules airlifter on the job. When the lives of husbands, sons and daughters are at stake, what is needed is a search airplane that can stay out there for however long it takes. And once it finds the survivors it can drop food, medical supplies and survival equipment to last until they can be picked up.
Being able to stay aloft for eighteen hours means the C-130 can cover a lot of territory and can fly radius flights of up to 2,100 nautical miles. This renders it an ideal choice not only for search-and-rescue missions, but for day-to-day maritime patrol as well.
Versatile, dependable, affordable, the Hercules comes through when it matters most.
