Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: CC-130 Hercules In the past two years, the CC-130 Hercules has been actively employed in the War Against Terrorism. The Hercules, considered to be one of the most versatile transport planes, is used to airlift troops, equipment and cargo, in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations and in air-to-air refuelling of fighters. The Hercules can be loaded and unloaded quickly, with little equipment, and is especially useful in delivering supplies because it does not need a lot of room to land. www.airforce.forces.gc.ca /equip/cc-130/intro_e.asp   (340 words)

The Senate committee also recommended that the de Havilland CC-138 Twin Otters utilized by the Edmonton SAR region be replaced by six de Havilland Dash 8s by 1992, and that the Boeing-Vertol CH-113/CH-113A Labradors (Canadian Annual Review, 1985) be succeeded by 20 new helicopters by the mid-1990s.
