C-130 HERCULES
FLYING 20 TRIPS AROUND THE GLOBE
In addition to the C-130’s in service with U. S. forces, more than 165 Hercules have been ordered by 12 other countries of the free world. Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Iran, New Zealand, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Production of the C-130 Hercules is continuing at Lockheed Georgia.
The C-130 Hercules is the world’s most proven airlifter. It serves as a cargo and troop carrier: aerial refueler; fleet support aircraft; patrol, rescue and search vehicle; weather photomapping platform; drone target launcher; and more. Each day C-130’s fly the equivalent of 20 trips around the world.
The C-130 Hercules, unmatched in versatility and economy, is just one of the family of famous airlifters designed and developed by Lockheed Georgia – the utility personnel / cargo C-140 JetStar transport; today’s largest operational military cargo fanjet, the C-141 Starlifter, and tomorrow’s giant C-5A, the largest plane in the world.
