Lockheed delivers its 2,000th C-130 Hercules
airlifter to the Kentucky National Guard.
It’s been quite a haul.
On May 15,1992, the C-130 Hercules airlifter set yet another aviation milestone .2000 deliveries in over thirty-five years of continuous production. No other aircraft in our Air Force's inventory approaches this distinction.
There's only one reason the C-130 has endured so long. Quite simply, it's the best damn tactical airlifter the world has known. As a matter of fact, the first production C-l 30 delivered to the Air Force in 1956 is still in operation today.
As the men and women of Lockheed continuously update and modernize the C-130, we fully expect to keep this aviation workhorse rolling down the line for many years to come.
Lockheed Leads.
