Kinsley C-130 9x17 Matted Print

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules, a four-engine turboprop transport aircraft with medium-lift capabilities, took its inaugural flight in 1954 and entered active service in 1956. Undoubtedly, the Hercules stands as one of the most successful transport aircraft ever developed, boasting numerous variants, ranging from the standard cargo/troop carrier to specialized models like the AC-130 gunship and the KC-130 aerial tanker. Notably, the C-130 holds the distinction of being the largest and heaviest aircraft ever to successfully take off from and land on an aircraft carrier.
