Hercules

Is helping build 32 nations.

One of them is ours.

Hercules is helping build out nation’s economy by bringing in more than 1 billion in foreign payments.

So far, over 1200 Hercules have been sold to the U.S. and other countries. They buy Hercules because it can do a lot of things other planes can’t

Like land on runways as short as 2100 feet. In fact, it can land runways that aren’t even runway, like sand strips, dirt clearings or gravel fields.

Once it lands, Hercules needs no fancy ground-handling equipment to unload. Its huge rear doors (9’ x 10’) open and a rear ramp lowers to the ground. So bulldozers, trucks and tractors can be rolled out intact and go right to work.

Hercules can carry 60-foot-long oil pipes. Cargo loads up to 45,000 lbs. Some models even carry 55,000 lbs.

There are 45 models of Hercules and improves versions continue to roll off the Lockheed assembly lines in Georgia.

Hercules: helping build 31 foreign nations, while it’s helping build our nation’s economy.
