How to tailor an airlifter to your own needs. You want a big cargo compartment. And a big cargo opening All models of Hercules have big compartments and big openings that are 10 feet wide and 9 feet high. Fully assembled trucks and bulldozers can drive down Hercules' low rear ramp, ready to go to work You want a freight-shaped cargo compartment. An airlifter should be shaped for cargo. A circular cargo compartment wastes too much space. All models of Hercules have freight-shaped cargo compartments. You want sturdy landing gear Some cargo planes have to be pampered with paved runways. All models of Hercules let you use runways of dirt, sand or gravel. With Hercules you can take the cargo where it's needed. You want fuel saving Fuel prices are an ever-growing problem for nations and airlines alike. But those propjet engines of Hercules use far less fuel than the best fanjet engines. They can save users hundreds o f thousands of pounds over the life of each Hercules. If you need to carry 45,000 pounds or more, if you need to fly up to 2,800 nautical miles C-130 Hercules The C-130 Hercules shown above serves as a military airlifter able to carry 45,000 pounds and also as a tanker, maritime patrol plane, search-and-rescue plane and in many other roles. L-100-20 Hercules This 'stretched' commercial Hercules has 20% more cargo space than the C-130 Hercules. It's in service around the world. L-100-30 Hercules This is the Super Hercules, the largest model now in production. It has 37-40% more cargo space than the L-1OO. It can serve as a cargo plane, as a passenger liner or as a convertible cargo/passenger liner. If you need to carry less weight or fly shorter distances L-400 Hercules Here’s where the twin-engine Hercules can shine. Typical payloads: 22,500 pounds for 550 nautical miles or 15,000 pounds for 1,325 nautical miles. Naturally, it costs less than four-engine models of Hercules. It can go into production when enough orders are received. What are your airlifter requirements? One of the many models of Hercules probably will match them. When it comes to airlifters, Lockheed knows how. Lockheed Hercules 1979

American Airlines introduces a new hub-and-spoke airfreighter service. Now shippers can get quick service on a 747 even if they are not located near an airport served by that giant airfreighter. American Airlines is feeding its 747 air- freighters in the Northeastern U.S. and the Caribbean with Lockheed's L-100-30 Hercules airfreighters. The five-day-a-week Hercules service now links Boston and Cleveland to American's 747 airfreighter hubs in New York and Chicago. And American offers prime-time 747 connections to and from those airports to other major cities. Shippers also can use direct Hercules flights between Chicago and Boston. In the Caribbean, Hercules operates between American's 747 Puerto Rican hub, San ]uan, to Port-au-Prince in Haiti and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. It's also a five-day- a-week service. And there's more good news for shippers. Hercules can handle virtually any cargo that fits into a 747, including M-1 containers. This greatly expands shipper opportunities to use M-1 containers and eliminates costly handling charges in transferring equipment from pallets to containers. Hercules and the 747. Together they make a new profit pair for airlines.

A Lot of people owe their lives to Hercules. When earthquakes turned Managua, Nicaragua, from a city into rubble. Hercules was in the air within two hours with tons of plasma and medical supplies. Famine struck the nation of Chad in Central America. Hercules struck back with 500 tons of food. Landing where planes aren’t supposed to land, like clearings as short as 2100 feet. Even rough dirt fields too tough for other planes, weren’t too tough for Hercules to land on. Or unload from. With huge doors in the rear and it’s own loading ramp, generators and water purification systems were easily unloaded in Guam, after Typhoon Karen paralyzed the island. If you’re beginning to think Hercules is as much a maiden of mercy as a muscleman of cargo, you’re right. It brought iron lungs to Japan to fight polio. It brought 25 tons of insecticide to Morocco to fight locusts. It’s been all over the world helping to save lives. That’s one big reason 32 nations own more than 1200 Hercules. Now, 32 Nations can face an emergency knowing there’s a way to help those in need. Today, Hercules continues to roll off the Lockheed-Georgia assembly line, featuring new innovations within forty-five different models. To some, Hercules is just a plane. To those in trouble, it’s a lifeline. Lockheed-Georgia A division of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation Marietta Georgia

Meet SFAIR’s newest profit centre. It's a great air freighter that's taking chicks from Bordeaux to Lisbon. And fresh fish from Istanbul to Paris. Those are two of the contract cargo runs being made by SFAIR, a Bordeaux-based cargo airline, with its Lockheed L-100-30 Super Hercules. By using Hercules, SFAIR has been able to introduce various regional airports in France to direct international commerce. The results are outstanding. In just seven weeks, operating from Bordeaux, Nantes and other regional air centres, SFAIR realized significant profits with the versatile Hercules. SFAIR's success bears out the adaptability of Hercules. This cargo plane, which has been a commercial and military success for a long time, lends itself admirably to profit-making as well. Four economical propjet engines are an example Hercules efficiency. Compared with fanjet aircraft, Hercules uses from 15 to 25% less fuel, a considerable saving in these times of soaring fuel prices. The L-100-30 can carry a payload of 50,400 pounds (including cargo up to 50 feet in length) in its square-shaped cargo compartment. And with its special rear ramp that lowers to the correct level for direct loading on or off lorries, it can easily accommodate eight large pallets. Quick turnaround time makes for quick profits. SFAIR found Super Hercules -already certified in France, Germany, Australia and the United States as a civil air freighter-to be the best way to open up new routes of international commerce from regional bases. If you want to make unique profits, contact Director of International Sales, Lockheed-Georgia Company, Zone 1, Marietta, GA 30063, USA. Telex 542642 Lockheed Mara. Lockheed Hercules

For 35 years we've improved on everything but our rugged good looks. A C-130 that rolls off Lockheed's production line today bears a physical resemblance to those that broke in with the Air Force some 35 years ago. That, however, is where the similarities stop. Today, the C-130 Hercules airlifter is faster and more powerful. Its capacity and range are far greater. It's easier to operate and more comfortable for the crew to fly. Furthermore, the integration of sophisticated avionics, software and electronic systems make it the most advanced tactical airlifter in the world. The C-130 may never win any beauty contests, but its position as the world's best tactical airlifter remains unchallenged. Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company The C-130 Hercules airlifter has been continuously updated and modernized. Lockheed leads.

Build a truck. Make it rugged. Then fly it. What do you do when you have to fly men and equipment, trucks and tractors to remote areas where runways are dirt and bumpy? Where roads may not even go. The big commercial cargo jets are no answer. They need paved runways 10,000 feet long. And elaborate hoists to draw cargo from their high side doors. Try driving a truck out of the side door of a plane. What you do is build a plane with a cargo-shaped fuselage. With a floor strong enough to support a bulldozer or cargo weighing up to 45,000 pounds. With sturdy landing gear that can take the jolts and bumps of dirt fields. A plane able to land and takeoff on very short runways. The U.S. Air Force did this. It had us build Hercules. And you can drive a truck out of its huge rear door. Today Hercules is this country's foremost tactical transport. A tanker rescue plane; an airship of many missions. On skis, Hercules is life itself to men at the South Pole. At the other end of the world, the commercial L-100 version is the same to oil drillers on the frozen North Slope. To victims of flood, famine and earthquake throughout the world, Hercules has been the difference between life and death, bringing food and supplies to places other planes can't. Because Hercules can do so much that other planes can't, it has been bought by 28 nations. So far we've built more than 1200 Hercs in 45 different models and this amazing airlifter continues to roll off Lockheed assembly lines.

The Air-lifters From Lockheed-Georgia C-130 Hercules makes precision airdrops from 5 feet Hercules does it again. Once more the world-famous workhorse demonstrates its versatility with a new variation of the basic airlift function. The new technique is called low-level extraction. This revolutionary airdrop method makes it possible to pinpoint cargo precisely where it’s needed – in clearings close to the action. No parachutes. No landing. Here’s how it works: Hercules flies five feet high with open ramp. A hook and cable attached to the cargo pallet is trailed aft. The hook engages a ground cable. The pallet is pulled smoothly through the rear door and drops to earth. This system was developed by All American Engineering Company in collaboration with both the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. Low-level extraction is still another strong point in the C-130’s basic assault airlifter capability: short, rough-field landing and takeoff; straight-in rear loading; king-size paradrop ability; and overall ruggedness and reliability. Lockheed-Georgia Company, Marietta, Georgia: a division of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation New Lockheed-Georgia Research Center will open this year near the main plant at Marietta to provide advanced facilities for space studies and aerospace sciences. Lockheed 300 Airlifter version of the C-141 will offer commercial carriers and shippers unprecedented cargo efficiency. The new C-141 StarLifter is undergoing initial flight test for military and commercial certification.

Carries almost anything. Almost anywhere. When a wide variety of missions demand a plane with multiple capabilities, governments all over the world turn to the C-130 Hercules aircraft. With a cargo capacity of 43,000 pounds, the Herc can airlift anything from trucks to tanks and set them down safely on most any type of terrain. As a tanker, it typically has a 56,000-pound capacity and the ability to refuel at jet speed—or at the lower speed of a helicopter. With its 18-hour flying capability, it can handle long endurance surveillance, reconnaissance, weather tracking and search and rescue missions. Years of rugged service have proven its reliability. Hercules performs under the most adverse weather conditions, and it’s ready to take on any runway, from sand and gravel to snow and ice. Despite its versatility, dependability and outstanding performance, the C-130 Hercules is surprisingly cost efficient. That's why it's used by more than 55 nations worldwide, for every type of airlift mission imaginable. Lockheed-Georgia Innovation Giving shape to Imagination

Innovation Resupply armor right to the front. “We need help bad. And now! We’re cut off.” With Hercules, that radio message can bring armor and decisive firepower right to the men who need it, no matter where they are. Even if there’s not a level spot for miles. Because anywhere is where the Herc can deliver. Anytime. C-130 Hercules: the affordable true tactical airlifter. Lockheed-Georgia Giving shape to imagination.

Introducing BROOKS & PERKINS new A/A32H-4A CARGO HANDLING SYSTEM for the C-130 Aircraft OPERATIONAL READINESS IN MINUTES INSTEAD OF HOURS . . . The "Dash 4A” Cargo Handling System for the C-130 incorporates certain improvements shown to be desirable by extensive use of the A/A32H-1A and the A/A32H-4 cargo handling systems— or the "Dash 1A" and "Dash 4" systems— presently being used by the United States Armed Forces and many allied countries. Simply, the new system attaches directly to the aircraft fuselage structure by the use of standard aircraft bolts. All of the cross members are now removed from the restraint rails and there are no obstructions on the treadways except for the roller conveyors. And, these can be quickly and easily removed and replaced. As mentioned, the restraint rails of the Dash 4A are attached directly to the aircraft structure, rather than to the cargo tie-down rings with a cross member and conical washer system. It is now a semi-permanent installation and makes available the 5.000 and 10.000 pound tie-down rings for unpalletized cargo. The outboard roller conveyors are now separate from the restraint rails. This allows both outboard and inboard conveyors to be attached and detached to the aircraft floor using newly designed and installed seat studs. So that the seats can now be lowered and used even with a full plane load of palletized cargo, new seat studs are mounted on the restraint rails. In addition to these basic changes and improvements, the new Dash 4A System also features an increase in the ramp capacity for the restraint of palletized cargo to 5,000 pounds . . . without exceeding the structural limits of the ramp. All in all, this new system, compared with the previous and present systems, provides operational readiness . . . through conversion of the plane ' s interior ... in a matter of minutes instead of hours. The Dash 4A System permits reliable, fast and safe operations in normal cargo handling and in the airdrop of materials. It incorporates restraint and allows for semi-automatic release of the standard airdrop platform and 463- L type cargo handling pallets. The entire weight of the system is under 1,875 lbs. U.S Coast Guard uses the new DASH 4A System to prevent ocean oil spills…. To Prevent ocean oil spills from tankers that have grounded or washed up ashore and threaten to rupture their oil tanks, the Coast Guard has adopted and refined a method of emergency oil transfer using the Air-Pollution Transfer System- or ADAPT System. The entire ADAPT System is air-dropped from a C-130 transport equipped with the Brooks & Perkins new Dash 4A Cargo Handling System with mating pallets. The ADAPT equipment includes oil transfer pumps, diesel engines, oil transfer hoses and specially developed oil storage containers. So, no matter what the use or requirement, the Brooks & Perkins Dash 4A Cargo Handling System can do the job… and has, time after time. For the complete Dash 4A story, write for our illustrated Cargo Handling booklet. 1. The new "Dash 4A" Cargo Handling System as installed in a C-130 aircraft. 2.

Saturn solved its fuel crisis. Thanks to Hercules. Despite the fuel crunch, Saturn profits soared 51% in 1973. Because instead of flying into a panic, Saturn flew the new stretched Super Hercules. Hercules uses only 750 gallons of fuel an hour compared to a jet (DC-8) which burns 2,500. According to Saturn figures, Hercules’ fuel costs per ton mile, depending on stage length, are as much as 30% less than those of larger jets. With this kind of fuel efficiency, Saturn can serve more customers and keep costs as low as possible. Hercules is doing such good job, Saturn has more on order. And according to President Howard K. Howard, “We are forecasting an increase in freighter operations mainly because we’re adding more Hercules.” That increase is already showing up world-wide. The versatile Hercules enables Saturn to serve industry in many ways. Hercules can land and take off from snow, ice and unimproved runways. Its freight-shaped fuselage makes it the best fit for cargo. And its straight-in loading and unloading through a huge 9’ x 10’ door makes it ideal for heavy logistics duties. Even long lengths of pipe, bulldozers and generators are easy cargo for Hercules. Hercules: one way Lockheed helped Saturn Airways turn a crisis into an opportunity. Lockheed Hercules

Outside it never seems to grow old. This is about the way the Lockheed Hercules looked when it first rolled out. And the way it looks today. High wings that let the cargo deck almost hug the ground for fast loading and unloading. Freight-shaped fuselage to make the most of the interior cargo space. Huge 9’ x 10’ rear cargo opening to handle cargo such as fully assembled trucks and tractors, bulldozers and generators. Sturdy landing gear to handle dirt, gravel, sand or snowy runways. Tough engines to power 45,000 pound payloads for 2,800 statute miles. Inside it keeps acting newer and newer. The Hercules’ airframe is so simple and functional that Lockheed has been able to concentrate on improving internal operating systems. And because Lockheed has been working for 20 years with countries that need great airlift, it knows what improvements to make. The numbered code shows some of the many improvements that have made this the most modern tactical and country-building airlifter in the world: 1. new APO-122 radar; 2. new autopilot; 3. new state-of-the-art avionics, from nose to tail; 4. new auxiliary power unit; 5. new air conditioning system; 6. improved hydraulic pump; 7. new auxiliary hydraulic pump.

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.
