C-130 Hercules
C-130 Hercules : short review
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport is one of the most successful aircraft ever built. A true 'Workhouse of the Skies', it first flew in April 1954 and looks set to continue in frontline service well into the 21st Century. Over sixty different countries have flown the 'Herc', and it has been adapted to serve in many different capacities. This detailed profile looks at the A-H Variants, and many of the different roles the Hercules has been adapted to meet. Included is coverage of Rc-130s on drone-launching operations, MC-130s with their airborne recovery systems, WC-130 'Hurricane Hunters', US Coastguard HC-130s and the odd-looking British C2 Weather Plane. There's also footage of the Hercules making a landing on an aircraft carrier, at the South Pole on skis and using jet-assisted take-offs. The C-130's finest hour probably came during the Vietnam War and there is extensive coverage of the aircraft in its varying roles in-country, from troop transport to Khe Sanh re-supplies to medivac ops. Also includes detailed coverage of the AC-130 Spectre Gunship version, with air-to-air combat film, interior film and even gun camera footage of a Spectre taking out NVA cargo bases and tank formations. Packed with rare colour film and interviews with Hercules pilots and crew.
