- Description:
- More than 145 C-130 Hercules planes were used in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the early 1990s. During the war against terrorism in Afghanistan (2001- ), C-130s also played a key role, with the gunship AC-130 model used for close support of ground troops.
Image of a C-130 Hercules in flight. The plane is painted in a green and brown camouflage pattern. With a wide fuselage, distinctive high tail, and multiwheeled landing gear, the C-130 Hercules is one of the most versatile and rugged transport aircraft ever built. Beyond its role as a versatile cargo and troop transport, C-130s are used as bombers, cannon-firing gunships, hurricane hunters, aerial refueling tankers, air ambulances, firefighters, and even aerial sprayers. - Metadata URL:
