Kinsley C-130 6x10 Matted Print

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a medium lift, four engine, turboprop transport. Its first flight was in 1954 and went into service in 1956. The Hercules is undoubtedly the most successful transport ever developed with numberous variants ranging from the standard cargo/troop carrier to the AC-130 gunship to the KC-130 aerial tanker. The C-130 also holds the record for the largest and heaviest aircraft to take off and land on an aircraft carrier.

Doug Kinsley created Aviation Illustrations in 1989. Having drawn airplanes since he was a young boy with no formal art training, his love of airplanes has enabled him to draw in such detail that one would have to take a second look. Each drawing is thoroughly researched to insure historical accuracy with unmated detail often taking up to 500 hours to complete.
