Hercules is at home
around the world.
Flying flags of 18 nations, hard-working versatile C-130 Hercules airlifters are carrying military and government cargoes all over the globe. And wherever Hercules goes, Hercules parts and service are assured. This widespread support network is one reason why the Hercules production line is still going strong. So far, more than 1,000 original and improved models have been built.
Designed for rugged duty, the dependable Hercules has completed over 4,000,000 flying hours to date. And many of them under the toughest possible conditions. For Hercules often must land on and take off from short, remote airstrips. Hercules does it easily – carrying up to 45,000 lbs. of nearly anything and flying it over 2,400 nautical miles.
With its wide-opening rear doors and giant cargo hold, Hercules takes on oversize cargo hat won’t fit in other planes. Its adjustable ramp makes loading and unloading easy too… without the aid of ground-handling equipment.
These are some of the advantages that made Hercules the choice of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, India, Iran, New Zealand, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the Unites States and Zambia – for an even longer list of missions.
