- Inside the C-130 Hercules, a military transport aircraft that can land almost anywhere and haul almost anything
The C-130 Hercules, in continuous production for over 70 years, is a versatile military transport aircraft capable of hauling cargo, troops, and providing close air support. Recent operations include humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, and the latest C-130J model costs $75.5 million to produce. The Air Mobility Command Museum in Delaware offers tours of a retired C-130E.
