                             C-130 Hercules (Lockheed)

Lockheed C-130 Hercules je americký vojenský čtyřmotorový transportní letoun. Přes 40 jeho variant slouží asi v šedesáti zemích. Letoun je průkopníkem taktického použití a je považován za nejdůležitější transportní letounvůbec.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide.
